Contracted Basic Education Teachers' Association: The Countdown Has Begun

The Contract Teachers' Association in Basic Education strongly condemns the failure to implement their rights, especially after the parliamentary council rejected a bill that would enhance the rights of teachers who lost their hours due to the war. It pointed out that the Ministry of Education issued a limited decision that benefited some areas, while the system overall failed to support contract teachers, particularly those who lost their jobs in border regions. The association confirmed that the current hourly wage is $8.2, and its value has decreased due to the war, compounded by a lack of sufficient funding. They threatened to organize protests and street movements to reclaim their rights, as the start of the school year approaches and their message about "hour zero" draws nearer.
