Today’s strike day is less noticeable in education than in January. Then most of the teachers went to Brussels to argue against the pension plans of the new federal government. A lot of schools also remained closed at the time.
At Scholengroep Sint-Rembert in Torhout, among others, they see that most teachers stay in the classroom today. Sint-Rembert has eight secondary schools with 4,750 students and fifteen primary schools with 5,100 children. Such one in ten teachers in secondary ceases today. “For example, those students receive an hour of study,” it sounds. In primary education there is no lesson in three of the fifteen schools. “We do provide shelter there.”
