Last week a delegation of AEU members attended the Education International Asia-Pacific Regional Conference.

Across the region, educators are confronting a myriad of interconnected challenges ranging from teacher shortages and chronic underfunding of public education, to attacks on professional autonomy and the growing impact of artificial intelligence.

Throughout the conference, delegates worked to tackle these challenges head-on and shape the future of education in the Asia-Pacific region.

Daniel took this striking photo of a workmate welding while studying a Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Trailer Technology at Kangan Institute.

No child should have their learning, well-being, or future limited by poverty.

Yet across Australia, thousands of students and families experience its impacts every single day.

Poverty hurts our communities - but together, we can change it.

Nominations are currently open for the 2026 Arthur Hamilton Award, so we’re taking a look back at some past winners and where they are now!

In 2021, the award went to Aboriginal educator Jannette McCormack for creating innovative career and language pathways for students in Alice Springs and surrounds.

Starting out as a teacher’s assistant, Jannette recognised the power of speaking in local languages with her students. This inspired her journey to become a teacher, and empowering Aboriginal students to feel proud of their identity, language, and culture.

Her work has boosted student engagement, increased attendance, and opened doors for students to integrate their language into further study and employment.

Congratulations to Angus Olding, the TAS winner of our 2026 TAFE Student Photography Competition! 👏👏👏

Angus captured this stunning shot during a bushwalk in the heart of the Tasmanian wilderness while studying his Cert III in Guiding at TasTAFE.

As Angus says: "Moments like this don’t happen in a classroom, they happen out in the world, when you’re doing the thing you love with wicked teachers and new friends."

World Teachers’ Day 2026 marks 60 years since the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the status of teachers was adopted. This milestone reminds us of a simple but powerful truth: there can be no quality education without teachers who are valued, respected, supported and protected.

Sending solidarity from the AEU to teachers and educators across the globe calling on governments to adequately resource and defend public education, and ensure every student has access to qualified teachers.

Half of all mental health conditions begin before age 14, and the evidence shows that acting early works.
