Collective Action
Students and parents protest Baccalaureate results mix-up
Dozens of students and parents blocked the road outside the Education Ministry to protest a ministry announcement earlier this month that some students had failed their Baccalaureate exam after initially being informed they had passed. Since the announcement, the students and their families have been regularly protesting outside the ministry. The protesters Monday blocked the road by the ministry, prompting riot police and security forces to dispatch to the area.
