The Ministry of Education and the striking ADP, the public school teachers\u2019 union, are again talking. The impasse has mostly revolved around a Ministry-approved teacher raise for 8% when the Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP), that represents the public school teachers, is asking for 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an arbiter role, social activist Enrique de Le\u00f3n announced the two parties would meet on Wednesday, 8 May to further the talks to end the work stoppages. De Le\u00f3n, a social and union activist, is recently known for his lobbying in the climate change and energy sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
