Egypt – Egyptian teachers agreed to protest on the 10th of September to demand an increase in the minimum wage of all teachers from EGP1,200 to EGP3,000, as well as an increase in the wages of all education ministry employees. The protesters additionally called for the removal of the judicial supervision imposed on the Teachers Syndicate since March 2014 by a Cairo court, which was enacted following allegations that the syndicate includes members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood group.
The teachers are also asking for an increase in the education budget to 5 percent of the Gross National Product (GNP), as well as an increase in pension pays for retiring teachers.
