New teachers protest set for Lisbon

Teachers and non-teaching staff will hold a new national demonstration in Lisbon for state schools on February 25, André Pestana, the leader of S.T.O.P (syndicate of all school workers) announced earlier today, even before he entered the second meeting of the 5th negotiation round with the government. The protest, the 4th in recent weeks, will begin at the Palace of Justice and end in front of the parliamentary building, where a symbolic “burial” of the quality state school education will take place.
