Teachers' hunger strike

In public primary schools, the preliminary teaching position is that of an assistant teacher. Many assistant teachers end up retiring after decades without any promotion. Few of them can become head teachers. That is why I support the hunger strike—which was recently called off—of primary school teachers.

The government should create a new rule that after a certain period, an assistant teacher will be promoted and employed in other areas of education development such as training, curriculum, research, and education administration.
