Contract teachers in vocational, basic and secondary education start an open-ended strike to demand the payment of their transportation allowance and social grants
Contract teachers in vocational, basic and secondary education started the first day of their open strike this morning. The teachers called on authorities to approve the payment of their transportation allowance and social grants, in addition to other demands. They stressed their commitment to continuing the strike until all demands are met.
The contractors issued a statement asking “How do they want the contractors to return to their schools when 90 percent of them did not collect the $90 approved by the Minister of Education?” A large number of the striking teachers did not receive their summer sessions payments until now, and those who took it received half of the allowance, the statement added.
