EGYPT— More than 28,000 Egyptian teachers are threatening to go on strike at the beginning of the school year, in response to the cancellation of a protest they were planning to demand their benefits as stipulated in the private sector employees law.
The independent teachers coalition of Egypt presented a request, two weeks ago at the police department in Qasr al-Nil to organize a protest on Saturday, in front of the Ministry of Education. However, the ministry asked for the postponement of the protest until Monday, before cancelling it due to the security conditions.
