EUROPEAN DIRECTOR
Ensuring the safety and health of teachers in the digital age is a key mission of education trade unions. However, this also presents a great challenge for the future of education: the attractiveness of the teaching profession, as well as the fairness, quality, and democracy of our education systems, are all at stake.
