On the day that National Educator’s Day is celebrated, November 22, hundreds of teachers from public and private schools in the Municipality of Cacuaco, march to mark the event.
With the motto “The transformation of education begins with the teacher”, they run from the pedestrian area of the Caterpillar to the headquarters of the municipal board of Education.
On this date, the teachers of the subsidized schools in Cacuaco say that the day serves for “a deep reflection so that the State looks at educators, in particular from private institutions, who earn a miserable salary and have terrible working conditions”.
As a result, many teachers from participating schools are forced to work in three or four institutions in order to survive, they denounce.
