Reueters: Thousands of Burundi teachers strike over salaries
Some 4,000 teachers in Burundi launched an open-ended strike on Monday three weeks into the new school year, claiming their salaries have not been paid.
The teachers, whose actions paralysed the tiny central African nation’s state secondary schools, say authorities have ignored claims stretching back years.
The teachers, who earn an average $35 to $40 a month, were also seeking the creation of a fund to build houses.
