Union Renewal in the Education Sector: Prospects for the Asia-Pacific

The primary objective of this report is to construct an initial model of ‘union renewal’ or ‘union transformation’ to be considered for further development by selected Education International affiliates in partnership with Education International’s Asia-Pacific Office.

In reaching this objective, the report examines the current state of some selected teachers’ unions in the Asia-Pacific, their operating environment and context, their understanding of the importance and process of ‘transformation’ and/or ‘renewal’, and the extent to which (a) there is appetite for it, and (b) if it is already taking place.
