This research on the decolonisation of education aims to promote further reflection among Education International (EI) member organisations on the role of unions, teachers, and policy in the decolonisation of education.

The research maps the actions of education unions who are engaged in decolonising education, documenting how some education unions have conceptualised and mobilised around these issues. It also seeks to understand the main concepts related to decolonising education and explores the nuances manifested in undertaking decolonising projects and implementing a practical view of the decolonisation of education. The research involves interviews with leaders from twelve EI members and a review of books, journal articles, and other sources.
