"The country has no government, how is it possible to send school security, cleaning staff, administrative staff, to monitor tests?", asked Liberty Chiaka, who was speaking at a press conference for the balance of verification visits by deputies from the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) to the country's 18 provinces.
The deputy also questioned in this situation "who prepared the tests, who will correct the tests, who will launch the grades, who will make the guidelines and who will be on the grades council?"
"Is this how we are going to say we have a government? No! Angola does not have a government", he stressed.
The teachers are in the second stage of the strike, which began on the 6th of this month and ends on Friday, to demand better wages and work.
According to the National Union of Teachers (Sinprof), since the stoppage of work, no meeting has been held with the Ministry of Education, with preparations being made for the third phase of the strike, which will take place between 3 and 31 January 2023.
The second phase of the strike coincided with the exams for the first quarter, with the union denouncing that the Ministry of Education allegedly guided schools to carry out the exams and that for their implementation it is resorting to security guards, cleaning assistants, administrative staff and their family members.
