The Education Cooperative unites several educational workers unions: * Algemene Onderwijsbond (AOb) (with a short English description on their website)
* Beter Onderwijs Nederland (BON)
* CNV Onderwijs (with a short English description on their website)
* Federatie van Onderwijsvakorganisaties (FvOv)
* Platform Vakinhoudelijke Verenigingen Voortgezet Onderwijs (Platform VVVO)
All in all, the cooperative represents about 200.000 teachers, that is more than two third of the teachers in the Netherlands. Moreover, there are cooperations with other educational association in the VET area and others. Unfortunately, the website of the Educational Cooperative is available in Dutch only. It provides information on goals and activities of the Cooperative, on the teaching profession, on news from this sector as well as on events and conferences.
One further educational trade union is not represented by the Cooperative, but it shall be mentioned here: the CMHF - Centrale van Middelbare en Hogere Functionarissen bij Overheid, Onderwijs, Bedrijven en Instellingen, Sectoren: Onderwijs (Federation of Staff and Management in Government, Education, Companies and Institutions)).
