First Edition, March 2025

Commonwealth Teachers Group (CTG)

Get to know Cde Chris Weaver, CTG Committee Member I am honoured to serve as a committee member of the Commonwealth Teachers Group (CTG) and to contribute to its mission of advocating for teachers’ rights and quality education across the Commonwealth.

As National Official (Campaigns & Communications) at NASUWT - The Teachers’ Union, I lead the union’s political

engagement and manage relationships with a wide range of external organisations, both domestically and internationally. My role involves shaping policy, leading strategic campaigns, and ensuring that the voices of teachers are heard at all levels of decision-making. Beyond my work at NASUWT, I also represent Education International on the Board of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE), where I contribute to the global movement advocating for the right to free, quality education for all. This role allows me to engage with international education policy, support grassroots campaigns, and work alongside unions and civil society organisations to push for equitable education systems worldwide. As part of the CTG, I aspire to foster greater collaboration among education unions across the Commonwealth, share best practices, and strengthen our collective advocacy efforts. By uniting our efforts, we can drive meaningful change and ensure that teachers receive the recognition, support, and respect they deserve.

I look forward to working alongside my fellow committee members to advance our shared goals and make a lasting impact on education worldwide.
