The Angolan Students Movement (MEA) on Thursday expressed solidarity with the higher education teachers, who have been on strike since February 27, and called for the “resolution of the problem”.
In a manifesto in favor of the return to classes in public institutions of higher education, the national secretariat for higher education of the MEA says students are being hampered in their academic projects.
According to the students, the strike is affecting students, so “the most important thing at the moment is the resolution of this problem”.
“We understand that for everything there is a way, as long as there is political will. In times of such a chaotic society, it is necessary to remember that it is the State that plays this role of guaranteeing health, education, and housing to the people, and this is only possible with the teaching profession.

To the government, the students stress that they “go to school not because teachers need to work,” but “because education is a right.” Read More..
