17,000 teachers in Tunisia denied Salaries


In response to widespread protests by education staff across Tunisia, the authorities have taken action by suspending salary payments for 17,000 teachers and terminating the positions of 350 school principals.

This decision directly impacts almost one-third of the nation’s primary school teachers and comes after recent demonstrations by education personnel.

As part of these protests, teachers have refused to submit students’ grades.

The Tunisian government has justified its actions by citing the country’s dire economic situation, asserting that the teachers’ salary demands are unfeasible given the current circumstances.

Tunisia is grappling with high inflation, escalating unemployment rates, and severe shortages of certain essential food items.

These economic challenges have created significant difficulties for the country.
