Mission

EFEE’s mission is to improve the quality of teaching, school leadership and education management through cooperation, dialogue and evidence-informed policy exchange.

As a recognised European social partner in education, EFEE represents education employers in dialogue with trade unions, EU institutions and international organisations. Through its projects, policy work and member activities, EFEE supports education systems in addressing shared challenges such as teacher shortages, digitalisation, inclusion, skills needs and the attractiveness of the teaching profession.

AIM

EFEE aims to strengthen the voice of education employers in European and international education policy. We work to influence policy debates, support social dialogue, promote cooperation between education stakeholders and create opportunities for members to exchange knowledge, access funding and develop joint initiatives.

MEMBERSHIP

The EFEE membership connects a diverse network of European and international stakeholders working in the fields of education, employment, labour and skills.

EFEE’s core members are European education employer organisations. These members shape EFEE’s work as the recognised European social partner for education employers.

The EFEE Community is a wider cooperation network for education stakeholders that are not education employers. They contribute to EFEE activities, projects and exchanges. 

The Education Employers International Partnership is EFEE’s dedicated framework for organisations outside of Europe, connecting them to EFEE’s global engagement and international policy discussions.
