Tunisia – Teachers stage a march to demand their rights and improved situation
Tunis-Tunisia 19/12/2018
About 30 thousand secondary school teachers staged a protest march today in Tunis against the state’s policy against teachers, which aim to drain the elite, as they put it. This outrage comes after the Ministry of Education and the government failed to respond to several movements. During the march, teachers called for educational reform, pay raises and grants in light of the citizens’ declining purchasing power. They also demanded lowering retirement age and rehabilitating the infrastructure of educational institutions.
