| Article 31 of the "Teachers Act" clearly stipulates the rights enjoyed by teachers (briefly): "...4. Participate in teacher organizations and engage in other activities organized in accordance with laws and regulations. ..."; Article 39 stipulates the establishment norms for the three-tiered teacher organizations at the school, county/city, and national levels. Therefore, establishing and joining the three-tiered teacher organizations is a basic and important right of teachers, and it should be promoted regularly to maintain and protect the basic rights and interests of teachers. |
| The Association is the only national teacher organization established in accordance with the "Teachers Act." Since its establishment in February 1999, it has advocated for educational reforms, optimized the educational environment, improved the educational workplace, participated in international organizations, and spared no effort in protecting teachers' reasonable rights and interests and safeguarding students' learning rights and interests, which is evident to all. In order to expand assistance to more educators, after the official implementation of the new "Trade Union Act" in 2011, our Association, together with the teacher associations of 22 counties and cities, jointly organized a national trade union confederation, the "National Federation of Teachers' Unions" (NFTOU), driving social labor rights progress, and successfully securing salary increases and improved working conditions for public and civil servants multiple times, making it the largest and most influential teacher union in the country. |
| However, after teachers were allowed to organize and join trade unions in accordance with the "Trade Union Act," numerous teacher unions have emerged, leading to disputes, fragmentation, and even internal conflicts that have severely eroded the solidarity of teachers, weakened the influence of teacher organizations, and damaged the positive image of teachers. In this situation, a single organization that can unite the strength of teachers nationwide becomes even more important. Our Association calls on all incumbent teachers to actively join their school's teacher association and to demand and urge county and city teacher associations to join the National Federation of Teachers' Unions to create greater positive influence for teacher organizations. |
| School teacher associations are professional organizations established in accordance with the "Teachers Act" and the "Societies Law," and they are statutory organizations that participate in educational reforms and communication dialogues in accordance with the mandate of the "Teachers Act." School teacher associations can become partners in perfecting campus regulations and promoting a friendly and warm campus culture. School administrative teams at all levels should regard them as important promoters of positive school development. Schools can also reflect the needs of the teaching front through teacher associations to county and city teacher associations, which then advocate for legal amendments or educational policy promotion through the National Federation of Teachers' Unions. We hope that all schools will recognize the positive functions of school teacher associations, encourage all teachers to join, and assist in the smooth promotion of their affairs. |
| Based on the three-tiered teacher organization, the Association has established and operated a powerful teacher union confederation, the NFTOU, for fifteen years. Stopping the competition for exposure and internal conflicts among teacher unions, and concentrating energy and resources to speak out to society, is the only way to effectively solve the severe teacher shortage problem, eradicate the chaos of school affairs meetings, and achieve the greatest benefits in correcting the dilapidated educational predicament. For related policy achievements and association news, please actively click and share the 59th issue of the NFTOU newsletter: https://pse.is/9me4z8. |
