Education trade unions have realized that they had been absent from public policy efforts in the education field. This resulted in a growing influence of sectors that promote agendas that are not in favour of free, public, quality education for all, and that also affect workers' rights and unions' space for action.

In the process, scholars and the broader educational community have become involved in the work.
