Guatemala: Teachers Protest
Neolib Policy
Surrounded by police, thousands
of Guatemalan teachers from 22
departments hold today the
fourth protest of the year to
demand resignation of Education
minister María del Carmen Aceña.
Accompanied by students and
parents, the teachers march to
the Congress to lodge their vote
of no confidence in the
minister, to be newly debated by
Parliament.
The conflict began last December
when the minister announced a
package of reforms that,
according to the teachers, are
neoliberal in nature and work
against public schools.
