History
The FISE was founded in Paris in July 1945 as a merger of the International Professional Secretariat of Education and the ITE, with the support of the American Education Association.[1] It was reorganized in 1949 and became the first international trade union to become affiliated with the WFTU. It took this step right after the non-Communist unions had left the WFTU and the organization became completely dominated by them.[2] In 1951 a group of unions split off and founded the International Federation of Free Teachers Unions.[3]
Organization
FISE was originally headquartered in Paris but was expelled in 1952 for "fifth column activities". It then moved to the Soviet sector of Vienna, but was expelled, again, in February 1956. The location of the headquarters immediately after the expulsion from Vienna is unclear, though FISEs' journal Teachers of the World was published from 10 Rue de Solférino, Paris 7ème.[4] In 1978 its headquarters is reported at Wilhelm Wolff Strasse 21, East Berlin 111.[5]
