The Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) is dedicated to improving the quality of teaching and learning by ensuring labor peace in the public education sector. As a bargaining council, the ELRC provides dispute resolution and prevention services, facilitating negotiations between trade unions and the state as the employer. With goals focused on research, policy implementation, collective bargaining, and effective communication, the ELRC works under the oversight of the Department of Basic Education to foster a harmonious and productive educational environment.
