He added that possibly teachers make a demonstration to the Congress building or the presidential house.

The protesters have placed Nylon on the ground to spend the night and banners in which they indicate which department proceed.

For some days, STEG members have indicated on social networks that remain in permanent assembly to demand a series of demands from the government.

However, not all teachers at the national scale have joined the demonstration, andThe Ministry of Education has received 900 complaints in which they point to teachers who have been absent from their work.

The report of reports began on May 12. However, since May 19, STEG members are in permanent assembly, which implies the suspension of classes to concentrate on a specific point, in order to define the strategies that will continue in their union action.
