Teacher strike sees limited participation amid protests over job cuts
A nationwide teachers’ strike has drawn relatively limited participation, according to official figures, as educators protest planned job cuts, school closures, and demand higher wages.
Data released by the education ministry indicate that fewer than 10% of teachers took part in the strike. Participation was higher in primary schools than in secondary education, reflecting stronger mobilization among early education staff.
However, unions have challenged these figures, claiming that the level of participation was significantly higher. Teacher organizations argue that dissatisfaction remains widespread, driven by concerns over staffing shortages, working conditions, and compensation.
The strike highlights ongoing tensions within the education sector, where reforms and budget constraints continue to spark debate. While the overall turnout may appear moderate, analysts note that the movement reflects deeper structural issues affecting the profession.
