In line with the 2004 Congress resolution concerning the position and role of school principals and school leadership in secondary school establishments, EI organizes international school leadership meetings. Participants to these activities include not only representatives of teacher unions, but also partners such as the OECD and UNESCO.
Education International strives to influence school leadership policy and practice at international and regional levels. For example, EI has been involved in the OECD School Leadership Activity under the auspices of the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC).
The final conference of this activity was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 14-15 April 2008, culminating in the launching of two important publications (Improving School Leadership: Policy and Practice and Improving School Leadership: Case Studies and Concepts for Systemic Action) and a toolkit on school leadership.
