Teachers protest during flag-raising ceremony in Region Two 

Teachers brandishing placards during the ceremony yesterday

Scores of teachers yesterday joined hands in the ongoing strike in Region Two just next to the Region’s flag raising ceremony for the Republic anniversary.

During the programme teachers were heard chanting “bullisim is a sin”, “teachers need respect”, “pay us better”, “we deserve better” among others phases. 

The teachers stood with their placards as hundreds of persons who attended the flag-raising ceremony near the high bridge looked on. This is the third week the teachers have been on strike. They were all dressed for school but stayed away.
