Yesterday primary and secondary teachers go on strike for a better pay and the conditions of teaching. 50,000 teachers went on strike and some failed to turn up to school. Around 750,000 students weren't being taught while strike was happening.
A number of teachers protested through the main cities, regarding a better deal of their payment from the government. The government offered teachers a 3 percent pay rise for the next three years. Teachers across the country believe that is not enough.
In my opinion teachers going on strike is important because in the next five or six years there might not be anymore teachers available. Without teachers there would be no one to teach the students about education.
