It takes the entire education workforce to educate the whole child
Education support personnel (ESP) were celebrated in an Education International (EI) video presented to EI’s 7th World Congress on 25 July. The animated video was entitled, ‘It takes the entire education workforce to educate the whole child’.
In the video, EI recognised the contributions of ESP, throwing a much-needed spotlight on education workers who receive little recognition or acknowledgement. EI believes that recognition and respect can be gained by promoting a full understanding of what ESP do to educate the whole child and ensure quality education.
EI encourages members to include, consult, and involve ESP in all issues, actions and campaigns. It also encourages all education unions to organise ESP so that, by working together, the strength and power of education unions can be organised for better wages, benefits, and quality of educational services.
The video screened during the Congress is available here.
