UNATU develops responses to various social development issues that affect the achievement of quality Education For All (EFA) such as HIV/AIDS, Gender in education, education reforms, education in conflict and hard to reach areas, public/private relationships and the social security of teachers. Such programmes are done in coalition with other civil society organisations for a stronger bargaining force.
The core business of UNATU is to bargain for improved living and working conditions of teachers including remuneration and salary.
Through our research initiatives, we are able to obtain data for evidence based advocacy as a way of engaging government to influence the negative aspects of education policies and for developing interventions that address the felt/identified membership needs.
We train our membership with intentions of conveying knowledge, skills and competencies relating to our strategic interventions as well as collecting data and documenting cases for evidence based advocacy.
