Will the first graders go to school tomorrow ?! Parents look for answers to this question on social networks because they do not have specific information from schools. Some school buildings say there will be a performance tomorrow for children who sit in school desks for the first time, but on the other hand, professors suggest that children not be taken to school because they will strike.

Parents confused, first graders disappointed.

Some parents suggest respecting the decision of educators and that they should not be pressured.

Yesterday, the Minister of Education and Science Arber Ademi sent a letter to the management, staff and students of primary and secondary schools that this start of school year will be different from all previous ones.

SONK remain on the warning of a strike on the first school day. President Jakim Nedelkov says that even after talks with the Minister of Education, their views have not come closer. It remains their decision to go on strike only that day, and if they do not come to an agreement with the education ministry by the end of September on the amount of wage increases, then they will consider a general strike. SONK’s demands are to get a 25 percent pay raise because, as they say, the salaries of education workers are currently well below the national average.
