Thousands of teachers across Algeria have launched a nationwide strike, demanding better salaries and improved working conditions. The strike, organized by education unions, highlights growing frustrations over stagnant wages, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate resources in the country’s education sector.
Protesters argue that the rising cost of living has made it increasingly difficult for teachers to sustain themselves, calling on the government to implement long-overdue salary adjustments and education sector reforms. Schools in major cities, including Algiers, Oran, and Constantine, have been affected, with lessons disrupted as educators push for urgent intervention.
