ESU was formed in 2006 with our pioneer branches, namely NUS, NTU, NAFA, SAS, RELC, and UWCSEA. As the Education sector was growing and preschool is an integral part of our education system, we merged with Kindergarten and Childcare Staff Union (KCCSU) in 2008 to better represent our members in the Early Childhood sector. Today, ESU represents around 29,000 working individuals in the education industry, mainly in the Early Childhood, Student Care, Universities, Private Education Institutions, International Schools. This excludes individuals working in the public sector. We also currently partner around 50 companies to improve the working conditions for the workers.
