Education and skills
TUAC engages with the OECD’s work on both initial education and on adult learning, participating in the meetings of the OECD’s Skills Advisory Group, Education Policy Committee, the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation Governing Board, and their respective working parties.
Key priorities include advocating for greater OECD recognition and discussion of policy measures to facilitate and improve access to lifelong learning opportunities and strengthening the OECD’s calls for investment to improve equity in education and the working conditions of teachers.
