The Ministry of Education (MED) and the National Union of Teachers (SINPROF) in Angola have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to suspend the general strike, that would begin on 26 April.
Also part of the MoU was the promotion of at least 181,000 education employees during the period going from May 2021 – January 2023.
Under the terms of the Memorandum, the parties agreed to re-review the demands presented on 23 October 2019.
The demands include the update and enhancing of categories of the 181,624 education members, in the period running from May 2021 – January 2023.
The parties also agreed on working on other points of the claim book until its full implementation.
High on the agenda of the claim book is the full time of service of all teachers.
According to the document, the first bulk, comprising 105,000 teachers, will be promoted until 2022 and benefit from financial adjustment, based on the employment period.
The minister of Education, Luísa Grilo, argued that the process of promoting teachers should not be seen as a requirement, but a right.
