The Nordic Teachers' Union

NLS

  • One of the main tasks for the Nordic Teachers’ Union NLS is to promote educational development and to elevate teachers’ status in society.
  • The presidency changes annually between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In 2020, Steffen Handal from the Union of Education Norway is the chair.
  • NLS comprises 17 member organisations and represents nearly 600,000 teachers and leaders.
  • The secretariat is in Finland with the Trade Union of Education in Finland in Helsinki. Christer Holmlund began his tenure as NLS Secretary-General on 1 May. He was previously the President of FSL, the Finland Swedish teachers’ union, and has been a form tutor and headteacher.
  • Like in schools and other trade unions, all NLS activities have been suspended. Nordic activities have been postponed until the autumn of 2020, or next year, because of the Coronavirus.
