The opposition APNU+AFC has castigated the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) for a skit at their weekend congress which ridiculed the recent teachers’ strike.
The skit was also flagged by the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) which said that it will respond.
A statement from the opposition yesterday said: “We, in the APNU+AFC, view the insensitive, crass and callous skit that was dramatized by misguided PPP members in full view of their leaders including the Ministers of Labour and Education as being most distasteful, disgusting and disingenuous. The skit is a clear demonstration that the PPP is anti-workers (teachers), uncaring and that is out of touch with the many challenges faced by our teachers every day in and out of the classrooms”.
