Gender Equality Action Plan 2026-2029
Since its Founding Congress in 1993, Education International (EI) has consistently highlighted the need to achieve gender equality in unions, in education systems, and in all societies. The aim of the Gender Equality Action Plan (GEAP) is to provide a framework for deepening this commitment and translating it into action, offering strategic guidance and a shared direction as EI and its member organisations work to create societies in which women in all their diversity have an equitable share in the distribution of power, knowledge and resources, and enjoy equal opportunities, rights and obligations.
Concrete measures are needed for change to occur, and the 2026-29 Gender Equality Action Plan sets out EI’s priorities for advancing gender equality up to the 11th World Congress in 2029, building on the Strategic Plan adopted by the Executive Board in December 2025.
