Teachers' strike in Egypt

CTUWS reports:>



More than 6000 teachers went in strike today [1 March] in front of the premises of the Administration of Education in the Governorate of Qena. They call for permanent jobs for the teachers working according to temporary contracts. The Minister of Education issued a decision yesterday to appoint all the teachers who worked as temporary employees for a period of three years on condition that they pass the “Cadre Examinations” which the Ministry will hold on March 25, 2011.

Commenting on the Minister’s decision, Mr. Essa Aly Mohamed, a teacher at Abu Mannaa Bahry School said it disappointed all the teachers employed by temporary contracts. He said that the strike will continue until the Ministry responds to their fair demand.
