VIDEO: Not All Educators Who Protested Last Week Supported the Move
Prime Minister Gaston Browne revealed that he received private messages from principals and teachers expressing their lack of support for the recent week-long strike.
This strike affected over 1,500 students in public schools and was centered around payment issues.
Over the weekend, Browne mentioned that educators told him personally that while they felt compelled to follow their union’s instructions, they did not support the strike itself.
