  • “A country where teachers have been underpaid, ignored and even bullied for decades is self-sabotaging itself by wallowing in hypocrisy and vulgarity, irresponsibly undoing its future.
  • The elementary truth is that for any drifting society, the only way out is education, not its subversion,” a representative of the Patriarchy wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

The education general strike, the biggest such protest in 18 years, has entered its third week and teachers’ unions have announced that the teachers’ strike will continue until they make demands on pay and the “future of education”.
