Pivotal because the teacher’s strike rolled on today – and tens of thousands of school-children remained out of the classroom. 

The news tonight is that the strike continues tomorrow, going into its eighth day.  Today teachers were encouraged to show up at their branch headquarters to participate in unspecified activities.  In Belize City, that meant awareness activities. We saw a small group of about 40 teachers proceeding single file along Central American Boulevard at midday where they were handing out leaflets.  Under the deathless motto “We shall not be movedâ€￾ those leaflets re-state the main governance issues and neatly add the 3% - as one of those immovable issues. 

Tonight, at this hour, the Belize City Branch is having a Vigil at the Memorial Park from 5:30 to 9:00.
