“Getting children back to school after the COVID-19 closures: how EI's child labour projects empowered teachers and their unions”, by Nora Wintour.

In the research study, conducted in 2018 and 2019 “EI/AOb Child Labour Projects: Transnational best practices and union impacts”, I examined how professional training programmes have enhanced teachers capacity to attract and retain children in school through participatory education techniques and how as a result of the child labour projects, unions have formed stronger alliances with local and national education authorities to advocate for quality public education. When schools reopen after the COVID-19 pandemic, these skills and methods will be very useful as teachers and their unions encourage parents and the wider community to send children back to school and to hold governments to account to provide the necessary resources for the public education system.
