Parents at French Embassy-linked school call for sit-in

Parents at the French Embassy-affiliated school Grand Lycee Franco-Libanais called for a sit-in on campus to protest a teachers’ strike that saw students out of school for almost a month.

The teachers’ association declared an open strike Friday last week after the school administration broke a promise to reinstate a pay raise stipulated in the salary scale law endorsed by Parliament in 2017.
