The Colombian Federation of Education Workers (Fecode) announced Tuesday a two-day strike to protest for a constitutional reform which guarantees adequate public funding for infrastructure, transportation, and feeding. This measure is accompanied by “Occupy Bogota” (La Gran Toma), a massive march called for Wednesday which demands improvements in the teachers’ working conditions.
Fecode seeks the fulfillment of the agreements signed with the National government in December 2018, which were aimed at improving the Colombian teachers’ working conditions by providing salary bonuses and improving teacher evaluations. They also demand timely compliance with health contracts for teachers and their families.
“We require a greater political will from the National government to find timely solutions in the negotiation process,” Fecode said in a statement and added that “the delay will aggravate the already critical problems within the country’s public education system.” LNP Warn The Public To Desist From Attacking its Officers
