What does AFT stand for in the context of education unions?

• A. American Federation of Educators
• B. American Federation of Teachers
• C. Association of Federal Teachers
• D. Alliance of Faculty and Teachers

Answer: (B)

AFT stands for American Federation of Teachers, the national teachers’ union in the United States. This is the correct expansion because the organization’s official name uses “Teachers” in it, and that is the form that appears in contracts, publications, and media coverage. The other options don’t match the actual name of this well-known union; replacing “Teachers” with “Educators” or using different terms like “Association” or “Alliance” would refer to something else and aren’t the recognized title of this organization.
