Teachers’ strike among ‘most successful’ in union’s history
BEIRUT: Private and public school teachers, as well as Lebanese university professors and instructors, held a strike on Thursday to call for an increase of their salaries, which have remained flat since 1996. Nehme Mahfoud, who heads the Teachers Union for private schools, said that the strike was being carried out throughout Lebanon and across all educational fields, adding that “this is one of the most successful strikes in the union’s history.”
Mahfoud also said that Education Minister Khaled Qabbani had informed union members that the Cabinet would discuss the teachers’ demands during its regular session next week.
