EI representatives attending the Seventh Meeting of the Education for All High Level Group held in Dakar, from 11-13 December, urged governments, UN agencies, bilateral and multilateral agencies, civil society organizations and other stakeholders attending the meeting to pay more attention to teacher training and recruitment.

EI would like to congratulate its affiliates for their efforts to mobilise their members and society at large to celebrate World AIDS Day 2007 and to launch the new ‘One Hour on AIDS’ initiative with commitment and enthusiasm!

In October thirteen unions affiliated to EI came together in Kingston to review their progress on the EFAIDS Programme thus far, to plan for 2008 and to benefit from training on two new toolkits related to gender safe schools and the greater integration of teachers living with HIV and AIDS in union policies and programmes.
