Launched in Irbid, Jordan, Stand Up with the Teacher is a campaign designed to build the power of female teachers working at private schools in order to enable them to demand their labour rights. The National Committee for Pay Equity (NCPE) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) jointly created and supported this campaign. The ILO hired the Ahel organization to train and coach teachers based on a community-organizing methodology developed by Marshall Ganz of the Harvard Kennedy School. After explaining the context and reasons for the continuing violation of female teachers’ rights in the private education sector in Jordan, this case study describes almost two years of collective action.
It reports on achievements and challenges and makes recommendations for researchers and policy-makers interested in education reform and workers’ rights in Jordan. This study was written while the campaign was still ongoing, so it tells an unfinished story.
