Libyan teachers intensify strike at Al-Wahda
The teachers' protests in Libya are escalating, with demonstrations taking place in front of the headquarters of the "National Unity" government in Tripoli, demanding improvements in their financial and administrative conditions. Their demands include salary increases, access to health insurance, and resolution of their employment status. These protests come after the teachers' union announced a general strike that began in September, affecting various areas in western and eastern Libya. The strike is driven by low salaries, typically around two thousand dinars per month, which are insufficient to cope with rising living costs, especially given delays in disbursing dues and the absence of effective health insurance. The unions emphasize their commitment to escalate actions until their demands are met, warning of closing schools and halting educational activities if responses are not provided. Additionally, the protests have faced assaults by security forces against teachers. Their demands for better financial and administrative conditions are seen as crucial steps toward restoring stability to the education process and safeguarding teachers' rights.
