Education Minister, Vice President Milagros Ort?z Bosch along with a number of parents’ associations, is planning to take the teachers’ union ADP to court for recent strike actions. She accused them of undermining the progress that has been achieved in the education sector and of continuing to agitate instead of working to find a solution. The next strike action is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, when teachers plan to walk out in several provinces around the country. The minister described the action as illegal and unethical and claimed that its timing was designed to extend the Easter holiday to 12 days. In an editorial comment, Diario Libre newspaper says that although the teachers have good grounds for protest ? pointing out that as well as pay increases, the teachers are also calling for improvements in the state of schools and quality of education materials ? the strike action can only make matters worse.
