-another meeting set for today

As a delegation from the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) attended a conciliation meeting with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Labour Ministry yesterday, teachers around Guyana took to the streets to resume strike action in the form of protests.

In Georgetown, approximately 100 teachers gathered to protest outside the Ministry of Labour’s Brickdam office, as the Union sought to reach an agreement with the MoE on the proposed years for salary talks. As was the case during their one-month-long February protest, the teachers, armed with placards, utilized their voices in chant.
