Professional Ethics
:: Policy ::
The EI Declaration of Professional Ethics represents the core values of the teaching profession itself. As a document drafted by the teaching profession worldwide, the Declaration recognises the great diversity of the profession among all nations and cultures. Its aim is not to impose a set of fundamental rules but to provide a basis for EI affiliates to form their own guidelines. At the same time, the Declaration also put forward fundamental values that the worldwide teaching community recognises as core components of its professional ethics.
The 4th World Congress has also passed a resolution to have the Declaration translated into as many languages as possible. Presently, it is available not only in all four official languages of EI, but also in Arabic, Russian, Chinese and Portugese.
