The Ministry of Education announced its support for teachers who decided to strike at educational institutions on Sunday until 11:00 AM, and will not request injunctions. The ministry stated that "without genuine negotiations from the Wages Commissioner, no solution will be found. The ministry supports the teachers' position, will not request injunctions, and calls on the Wages Commissioner and the Treasury's Budget Division to return to the table and act responsibly. It's unfortunate that they continue to ignore the problem before us - this is a national issue that affects students, teachers and parents alike."
