He highlighted the vital role of teachers in nurturing democratic values and called for continued investment in the profession, stronger gender equality efforts, and deeper social dialogue with unions.

Nicole Calnan, Federal Secretary of the Australian Education Union (AEU) joined educators and union leaders from Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan and South Korea for two powerful gatherings:

1. Educators Stand for Climate Justice and Just Transition meeting, 21-22 April 2026
2. North Asia Network meeting 23 - 25 April 2026

In her solidarity address, Nicole brought warm greetings from the 200,000 members of the AEU, reaffirming that no matter where we teach, what language we speak, or what system we work in, we face common challenges: rising workloads, teacher shortages, underfunding, and the undervaluing of education work.

She reminded us that progress comes from organising, centre staging women, young educators, and LGBTQIA+ teachers, and building unions that are inclusive, resilient, and strong enough to defend public education for all.

💪🌱 These meetings are a powerful demonstration of international solidarity in action. When teachers organise, we win. When unions are inclusive, we grow. And when we act together across borders, we are unstoppable.
