In 2019, Poland experienced a massive teachers' strike that lasted three weeks. Although the strike had a great impact on many teachers, in the end, this three-week action failed to obtain any of its demands.

Mihajla Gavin – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2025
Teacher unions are working in challenging times.

The media play an important role in both crafting and reinforcing cultural…

Various researchers around the globe have increasingly linked notions of justice with education, exploring terms like social…
