The teachers’ two-week strike might come to naught now that the President has made it look like a small issue. When he says the teachers’ demands are unsustainable, he means that his government is not going to honour what the courts awarded and teachers might as well go to class and stop the strike.
Today, teachers are a bitter lot and the only way to get even with a government that is insensitive to their plight is to threaten to vote them out in 2017.
