Manifestation of teachers in Pentecoste.

Last week a group of approximately 70 civil servants, amongst them teachers leaded by SINDSEP (Civil Servants Union of Pentecoste) realized a manifestation in front of the Education Department of Pentecoste. When they arrived in front of the building, they joined each other in a unitone chorus screaming out loud: “Education Secretary, where are you? We got here only to see you!”

After getting into the building, they went upstairs till the Secretary’s office and they made her appear and talk to them. They have only achieved that due to all the noise they made and the pressure of the strong knockings on the door to force her to appear.

That manifestation has been largely discussed almost everywhere in Pentecoste; and one of the places where it has been discussed was in PRECE’s radio show called Student’s Heart Program. Last Monday 2nd Cláudia Melo, the President of SINDSEP, was interviewed and clarified all the doubts concerning the happening. The manifestation caused controversy in Pentecoste: in one hand, the Town Hall accuses the civil servants of riots; on the other hand, the servants affirmed that the Education Department staff is rude and aggressive.

The teachers claim the division of the Fundeb (Maintenance and Development of Basic Education Fund and Enhancement of Education Professionals) money, a new Career Plan and a minimum wage.

And you, what do you think of this political act? Be part of the discussion, post your comments below this article.
