Apr 28, 2021 Teachers Strike during Senate Debate; Day 3 Today marks three consecutive days of strike action by the Belize National Teachers Union. Once again, teachers took to the National Assembly steps, as they did during last week’s House of Representatives budget debate. Only this time, there was an even larger turnout as teachers were bused in from all ten branches across the country. The size of the crowd changed, but the message remained the same – teachers continue their call for the government to fully implement UNCAC and its accompanying legislation. News Five was covering the event this morning and during a break, spoke to Jose Mejia, the First Vice President of the B.N.T.U.
