Education Unions Secure Teacher Recruitment and Employment Security in Middle East and North Africa

Education unions in Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Morocco have achieved significant progress in addressing teacher shortages and improving employment security through the "Go Public!" campaign. Around 90,000 teachers have been recruited, with a target of 150,000, and efforts are underway to shift from hourly-paid arrangements to contractual employment. The campaign also strengthens union capacity, with the Iraqi Teachers' Union establishing a new Training and Research Department and digitalizing membership management.
