Teachers in Region Six over the last two days have expressed concerns over the way ahead as the standoff between the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) and government continues with no sign of collective bargaining talks as the strike enters its 17th day.
According to the teachers, while they support the strike they are concerned as to how long it will go on before government pays heed to their call.
A visit to schools in the Upper Corentyne Area showed that classes remained in session, while at the majority of the schools in the Central Corentyne, New Amsterdam and Canje the teachers although attending are opting out of teaching.
