Cabinet Proposes Extended School Days to Make Up for Strike Disruptions<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Cabinet has announced plans to compensate public school students for lost learning time following the recent teachers\u2019 strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over a week, teachers withheld instruction in protest over unpaid allowances owed to a small group of educators\u2014primarily at the secondary level. However, officials say the strike had a broader impact, especially on primary school pupils who missed six days of critical instruction.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Concerned by the disruption, Cabinet is proposing to extend the school day to help students catch up before the end of the term. Officials say the move aims to close the learning gap and reaffirm the value of consistent teaching.<\/p>
