Teachers protest outside the AR to "denounce the lack of responses" from OE2027

Teachers are protesting outside the Assembly of the Republic to highlight the lack of responses regarding the 2027 State Budget. Organized by the National Federation of Teachers, Fenprof, they demand effective investment in public education, higher education, and science. The union criticizes the proposed budget as insufficient, arguing it fails to meet educational needs and international recommendations. Concerns include reduced funding for higher education and science, lack of job stability, and inadequate responses to long-standing issues like teacher salaries and career progression. Despite a nominal budget increase, the education sector's share of GDP is projected to decline, raising questions about the government's commitment to education investment.
