St. Lucia Teachers' Union

The St. Lucia Teachers’ Association was formed on August 9th, 1934 under the presidency of Mr. Henry J. Belizaire and registered in 1951 as the St. Lucia Teachers’ Union. The Union was formed with the objective of uniting all the teachers of St. Lucia into a common association to obtain and maintain just and proper wages, terms and conditions of employment and to generally protect the interest of teachers. Since the SLTU is also a professional association, one of its objects is to provide the government and Education Authorities the benefit of teachers’ collective ideas, opinions and experiences on educational matters and issues of national importance. The SLTU is a founding Member of the Caribbean Union of Teachers (1935), Education International (1993) and The St. Lucia Trade Union Federation (2005).
