The National Union of Teachers of the State-regulated Catholic schools (SYNECAT) in the Kasai Oriental Province announced last weekend the continuation of their strike.
The decision comes when the National Union of Teachers of the Congo (SYECO) just lifted the strike throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo last week.
According to the provincial secretary of SYNECAT, Gaston Mutombo, the provincial government did not take into account the demands of teachers in the province.
Teachers are demanding the indexation of their salary at the state budget rate.
