We advocate for the Global Community of Educators and Students
Education is a fundamental human right, and though achievable, this right has yet to be realized. In our diverse and interdependent world, dismantling the barriers to universal quality education requires engagement and advocacy at all levels. Through strategic partnerships, campaigns, and advocacy, NEA supports students and educators in our global community to fulfill the promise of quality public education for every student.
NEA International Relations works to protect students, elevate educator voices, secure human and workers’ rights, and promote strong inclusive public education systems. In addition to policy and advocacy efforts, NEA provides support and resources to U.S. educators on global education.
