  2. Mobilising for Quality Education • Education International’s Global Initiative to emphasise that quality education • is essential to enable each individual to develop to their full potential • must be at the centre of social and economic development • is one of the pillars of a just and equitable society • Is a core concern of EI and its member organisations • is too important to be undermined by cutbacks in state support • must be a central part of any global post-2015 development agenda

  3. Mobilising for Quality Education • Education International believes that Quality Education is built on three pillars:- • Quality teaching • Quality tools for teaching and learning and • Quality environments for teaching and learning

  4. Mobilising for Quality Education • Why the emphasis on ‘Quality’ Education? • To underline the commitment of EI and teacher unions to providing the best possible education for citizens • To create awareness of the critical role of good teaching and teachers in providing quality education • To highlight the importance of high calibre candidates being recruited into teaching, and, • Retaining them in teaching through attractive salaries and conditions of employment • To emphasise the importance of high quality teacher education, both pre-service and in-service • To assert the necessity of consulting teachers about policies on education

  5. Mobilising for Quality Education • What are the key goals? • To convince the policy makers at all levels that quality education matters • To ensure that Quality Education is one of the central planks of the post-2015 Development Strategy • To ensure that EI, as the global representative of teachers, has a significant input into the development of the post-2015 Development Strategy • To support member organisations who are fighting to protect the education services in their own countries • To build alliances with those parents, students representatives and others who share our views • To develop partnerships with organisations which have the capacity and financial resources to assist with the campaign for quality education

  6. Mobilising for Quality Education • To demonstrate the strength, unity and commitment of teachers and other education workers throughout the globe to quality education by mobilising them - the members of EI member organisations - to support the initiative by participating in activities in large numbers. • To enhance the advocacy work of EI at the international level by demonstrating that it speaks for a strong united and committed body of educators who support quality education for all. • To link the advocacy work of EI at the global level with the campaigns and activities of member organisations at national and regional levels.
