Teaching Crisis in Honduras
Honduras was under an apparent
calm after the government and
teacher s unions discussed about
an eventual solution to the
crisis of the national
educational system.
Around 2.5 million children and
teenagers are without classes
since the Teaching Organization
Federations of that Central
American nation began a strike
in demand of salary improvements
last August.
A technical commission of
representatives from both sides
negotiated those clauses of the
Educational Statutes in the
house of the Government minister
Jorje Arturo Reina the day
before.
"They are making new
calculations to discuss with the
magisterial leaders. They
presented a proposal, and we are
analyzing it," the Education
vice-minister Marco Antonio
Garay stated.
Local media predicted it would
be signed into an act to begin
classes on Wednesday.
Among demands is the payment of
$3.07 an hour and an increase of
$1.16 per lesson starting next
year, but president Manuel
Zelaya only has offered them an
increase of ten cents per hour.
