Magharebia: Tunisian teachers stage two-day strike
The General Syndicate for Secondary Education organised a strike by high school teachers throughout Tunisia on Wednesday and Thursday. The union protested what it calls the Ministry of Education’s politically-motivated actions against teachers.
Tunisian high-school teachers went on a two-day strike this week in response to a call from their union to protest actions by the Ministry of Education. In a message to its members last week, the syndicate asked that teachers strike on January 16th and 17th “to confront the oppression and the injustice with which the Ministry of Education has dealt with the unionists in general, … to claim the right of employment and the unionist right, and to demand the return of those teachers who have been oppressively expelled and transferred”.
