In March 2026, the Education Employers International Partnership (EEIP), led by the European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE), joined the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030, hosted by UNESCO.

This milestone strengthens EEIP’s role as an international platform connecting education employers and partners across countries and regions. It also creates new opportunities for the EEIP community to contribute to global dialogue on teacher policy, workforce development and the future of education.

The UNESCO Teacher Task Force brings together governments, international organisations, social partners, civil society and education stakeholders working to strengthen teacher policies and advance Sustainable Development Goal 4. By joining the network, EEIP is recognised as a global voice for education employers and can help ensure that their perspectives are reflected in international education discussions.

Through this partnership, EEIP will contribute to areas such as:

  • Teacher recruitment and retention
  • Professional development and leadership
  • Sustainable education workforce policies
  • Knowledge exchange and capacity building
  • Evidence-informed approaches to teacher policy
  • International cooperation and joint initiatives
