EI has published an exciting new study looking at equity issues concerning teachers and students. The work was commissioned by the EI Research Institute to a team of researchers, led by Dr. Elizabeth Wood, at the University of Exeter.
The study aimed to find new evidence about the importance of equity in education. It explores and analyses how teacher unions understand and use equity concepts in their policies and advocacy to advance the aim of quality education for all.
The study is based on an extensive literature review, an EI membership survey and a set of country case studies.
