Scores of teachers in Region Two continue to gather in front of the region’s Department of Education demanding an increase in their salaries.
The strike organised by the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) entered its third day yesterday and attracted hundreds of teachers from across the region. Teachers came from as far as the Pomeroon River and Bethany to join in the strike action.
The striking teachers assembled under a newly built tent and where food was being cooked for them. Some teachers opted to stay way while others gathered together in solidarity with their union in demanding a raise in pay. In the crowd, head teachers from various schools were seen with placards.
