Cos’è Teachersolidarity?

E’ un sito indipendente che registra nel mondo la resistenza di insegnanti, sindacati, comunità, ricercatori che combattono in difesa della scuola pubblica e dell’istruzione democratica.

“Teachersolidarity is an independent website which records the resistance to such reform of teachers, their unions, communities and researchers, who are fighting to defend public and democratic education. It aims to bring such people together, through sharing experiences, learning from one another and giving and receiving solidarity.”

Quale obiettivo ha?

Contrastare le riforme dell’istruzione in chiave neoliberista.

“Education in almost every country in the world is subject to the grip of neo-liberal education ‘reform’ which is slowly starving out public schooling, promoting privatisation, destroying teacher professionalism and aims only to produce a minimally educated workforce, which can read instructions and advertisements but is discouraged from thinking critically about the world.”

Per comprendere meglio quello che accade da noi e lontano da noi.

Un esempio: la protesta di insegnanti inglesi sulle pressioni in stile bullismo da parte dei manager e lo stress conseguente:

“Teachers in England and Wales are drowning under an accountability regime so punitive that it is driving them out of the profession in their thousands. According to one authoratative poll, 53% are thinking of leaving in the next two years. ”
