Teachers on Strike - Athens, Greece
23th of October 2024
In October 2024, teachers in Athens and other parts of Greece went on strike to protest against the government’s education policies. The strike, organized by teachers' unions, focused on issues such as budget cuts, overcrowded classrooms, low salaries, and poor working conditions.
Teachers have indicated that further protests could continue if their demands are not met.
Teachers are demanding increased funding for public schools, pay raises, and better support for students, particularly those with special educational needs.
The strike led to the suspension of classes across primary, secondary, and high schools in Athens, and protests were held outside the Ministry of Education. While many parents and students expressed support.
