Honduran Teachers Protest Pay

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Teachers in Honduras’ Francisco Morazan Department continued protesting Thursday, demanding seven months of unpaid salary that the authorities blame on internal irregularities.

The protest began yesterday with the occupation of the local Education Office and Jesus Milla Selva Institute, where 67 teachers have not been paid, yet teachers continue to be assigned.

Francisco Morazan Department Education Director Altagracia Sanchez denied any irregularities and blamed previous administrations for internal disorder.

Although Sanchez said she has arranged to pay the salaries, the skeptical teachers decided to go ahead with the protest.
