As the teachers’ strike enters its fifth week today, President of the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) Mark Lyte is urging parents and community members to join in having their voices heard by the government to bring it to an end.
With important deadlines approaching, such as the completion of School Based Assessments (SBAs), which are due for submission on March 14, and exams for students, the union head called on parents to join teachers in demanding action from the government. He also urged community members to speak out against the impact of the ongoing dispute on students and school operations.
