School Year Starts with Problems and Shortages

The new school year has started with recurring problems, such as schools being construction sites, the staffing process continuing after September 1st, and the non-installation of air conditioners in primary schools, according to an announcement by the Progressive Movement of Teachers and Kindergarten Teachers.

In Pre-primary Education, prefabricated classrooms continue to dominate, and administrative understaffing is increasing, with the Ministry of Education shifting administrative responsibilities to kindergarten teachers without clerical support.

Announcements regarding the modernization of legislation in Special Education remain on paper, with schools opening without completed recruitment of school escorts, overcrowding in Special Schools, and shortages.

The faction reports that the daily life of teachers is suffocating with large numbers of students in classrooms, shortages in building infrastructure, increasing extra-curricular duties, and a lack of measures to address extreme behaviors.

The Progressive Movement of Teachers and Kindergarten Teachers states that it will continue to fight for a more humane, fair, and democratic public school.
