This decision was conveyed through a communique dated January 12, 2024, following an emergency meeting of the State Wing Standing Committee.

The union emphasized the need for the implementation of a 40% peculiar allowance and payment of 25 months minimum age arrears.

If these demands are not met before January 19, 2024, secondary school teachers are also urged to join the strike from January 22.

The union expressed disappointment over the lack of positive developments despite a six-week suspension of the strike that ended on November 7, 2023.

The teachers’ demands include addressing the impact of the removal of fuel subsidies on their standard of living. Consequently, parents are advised to keep their children in primary schools at home from Monday onwards.
