CNTE Strike Leaves 800,000 Students Without Classes in Oaxaca

As part of this 48-hour strike, the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) left more than 800,000 students without classes in Oaxaca. According to union representatives, this protest action is aimed at drawing attention to the problems in the education system and demanding that authorities fulfill previously made promises. The protesters emphasize that the strike is not directed at students, but at the government's policy, which they believe ignores the needs of teachers and students. "We are fighting for the future of our children and for decent conditions for all education workers," the union statement says. The authorities of Oaxaca, in turn, called the CNTE's actions unfounded and called on both sides to engage in dialogue.
