The Libyan Teachers' Movement announced on Saturday that it will continue its protest until its demands are met. The movement, which began last Sunday, has led to a strike by teachers in schools across the country. In a statement, the movement said that it will not back down until its demands are met and that it will not accept promises that are not translated into clear and executive decisions.
The movement's statement also revealed that there has been no direct communication with the executive or legislative authorities regarding the protest. The movement emphasized that any dialogue must be with its leaders and representatives directly and must address all its demands without fragmentation or selectivity. The movement also warned that if no concrete measures are taken, it will escalate its protest in a peaceful and organized manner.
The movement outlined its position in eight points, including the continuation of the protest until real and serious solutions are reached, and that any dialogue must lead to clear and binding decisions. The movement also demanded that any final settlement must include a specific timeline, a clear roadmap, and declared implementation stages, as well as responsible parties for implementation.
The movement also called on all teachers to organize peaceful protests in front of education departments and to make their voices heard to the authorities. The movement emphasized that its demands are not personal or factional, but rather related to the financial, job, and professional rights of teachers, as well as the status of teachers and the stability of the education process.
The movement's demands include an increase in salaries, improvement of working conditions, and a review of the education system. The movement also emphasized that it is committed to the interest of students and the stability of the education process, but that this cannot be achieved by ignoring the rights of teachers.
The Libyan government has not yet responded to the movement's demands, but the Ministry of Education has announced that it will work to address the concerns of teachers. The situation remains tense, with teachers continuing their protest and the government facing pressure to meet their demands.
The teachers' protest has had a significant impact on the education sector, with schools forced to close until further notice. The protest has also sparked a wider debate about the state of education in Libya and the need for reform. The movement's determination to continue its protest until its demands are met has garnered support from many Libyans.
