The World Federation of Teachers’ Unions of WFTU, expresses its support and solidarity with the workers and the people of Mexico, who face the consequences of the killing earthquake that stroke a few hours ago.

The death of hundreds of people proves once more the danger of non-existing earthquake safety measures and safety checks in public buildings, work places and popular neighborhoods. The tragedy unfolding in Mexico is an alarm also for the workers of Greece who witness a series of vital services (earthquake safety measures, forest protection, health and safety regulations and control in the work places, etc) are being sacrificed for the profits of the business groups. The earthquakes are natural phenomena, but once again is proved that their consequences are premeditated crimes against the workers and peoples.

FISE expresses its solidarity to the trade union organizations of Mexico and we ask you to convey our condolences to the families of the victims. During these difficult times we stand by your side.

INVITATION  for the 18^th Congress of FISE. 4-5 March 2018 in Mexico City, Mexico.

To the teachers organizations

Dear fellow militants, 

The global capitalist crisis, the imperialist wars, the international economic organizations and associations attack the rights of all the workers and, of course, also the rights of the teachers.

The problems of education and teachers are being more acute every day. Shrinking of school units, teachers’ layoffs, salary reductions, trade union and labour rights violations, limitation of trade union and democratic freedoms, police attacks against teachers who demonstrate, are some of the measures implemented by the most governments in the five continents.

The World Federation of Teachers Union-FISE, member of the WFTU, sends a message of solidarity to the militant teachers of Primary and Secondary education of Peru who, for over 50 days, continue their strike, despite the threats made by Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s reactionary government. The Peruvian government threatens teachers with mass layoffs, unless they return to their posts and begin this week’s programmed-by the government-classes.

Teachers demand a raise in the country’s Education budget, a raise in their salary, an improvement of their insurance system, an improvement in facilities and education conditions. Finally, teachers demand the abolition of the anti-educational law, which connects the teacher’s appraisal along with their activity within the labour movement and, in general, their political action, thus attempting to create totally manipulated government employees.

The World Federation of Teachers Union-FISE, expresses its solidarity to the struggle of Peruvian teachers.

Teachers who teach in Nepalese Community schools have been struggling for more than four decades for their rights and improvement in education system.

The main issue is to make the post permanent most of the teachers remain temporary because of government carelessness. Teachers work for twenty years and have to give exam after several years. The government doesn’t advertise vacancies for permanent teacher for a long time. There is a great discrimination between permanent and temporary teachers.

Teachers work for a long time being temporary and have to go home with empty hand at last. The government makes agreement and signed on paper but does nothing to implement it in real practice, so the teachers are on hunger strikes demanding a permanent job for some days to put pressure to the government.

Demands

• The teachers who have been teaching in government school for a long time till now should be provided equal opportunity to be permanent securing 40 marks in exam.
• Those teachers who do not pass the exam should be provided golden handshake with medicine and treatment package.

For the purpose the government should change the education act 2028, 9^th amendment.

Long term demands

• Advertisement for teacher selection should be regularly published and the process should be finished on time.
• The provision of appointing temporary teacher should be stopped.
• Teacher training program should be made effective.
• There should be only one kind of teacher not 17 different types.
• There shouldn’t be any discrimination between teachers and other social workers in salaries and facilities.

The Ceylon Teachers Service Union, (affiliates to the FISE and WFTU) the major teachers union in Sri Lanka convey the fullest support and solidarity with the voluntary teachers of Nepal. At this moment the whole world knows that they are on hunger strike for more than eight days and their lives are in danger. Their struggle and demands are very fair and just. Therefore we urge the Nepalese government to fulfill their demands and ensure well life conditions. And also we urge them to save their lives by finishing the hunger strike as soon as possible.

With militant solidarity
