A four-week-long strike by teachers ended today as a result of court-ordered mediation.
An agreement reached between the two sides said that the teachers will resume work on or before Wednesday, March 6th, 2024.
Discussions shall then proceed within 48 hours of resumption of work and shall be in relation to those matters which either party considers relevant for discussion between the union and government which includes financial matters.
These discussions will take place in the boardroom of the Ministry of Education.
The agreement said that “Both parties reserve all their rights pursuant to any agreement or the laws of Guyana”.
The mediation was ordered by Justice Sandil Kissoon and the mediators were senior counsel Eddie Luckhoo and Robin Stoby.
