The General Education Union (Dutch: Algemene Onderwijsbond, AOb) is a trade union representing teachers, lecturers and support staff in education, in the Netherlands.

The union was founded on 1 January 1997, when the General Union of Education Personnel merged with Dutch Association of Teachers. It affiliated to the Federation of Dutch Trade Unions. By 1998, it had 72,206 members, and in 2008, this had grown slightly, to 77,943.

At the start of 2020, the union absorbed Vawo, a union for university researchers.
