Teachers from Tolima lifted the strike and returned to classes - Other Cities - Colombia

The teachers gathered in the Murillo Toro park, in Ibagué.

The temporary cessation of classes for 3 days affected more than 145,000 students in the department.

The 145,000 students from public institutions who spent three days without classes this week have already returned to classrooms in the municipalities of Tolima, after the lifting of the teachers’ strike.

Since February 7, some 8,000 educators and administrators stopped teaching face-to-face classes in 46 municipalities, with the exception of Ibagué, because they were not paid their January salaries and many of them held protest days in the Manuel Murillo Toro park, next to the headquarters. of the governorship.

William Polo, president of the Teachers’ Union of Tolima, Simatol, affirmed that “the educators resumed classes after the payment of January salaries. The teachers returned to their municipalities and restarted their work”, he said, adding that the payment of wages on time is a right of the workers.

Julián Gómez, Secretary of Education of Tolima, affirmed that the delays were due to problems in the virtual platform, which have already been solved.

“This time the settlement of the payroll was done manually, which caused us to fall behind in payments,” said Gómez.

He highlighted the officials of the Ministry of Education “who worked hard, manually, to make payments to teachers and administrators.”

US Schools in Desperate Need of Substitute Teachers

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA —

Schools in the United States are struggling to reopen and stay open for in-person classes amid coronavirus outbreaks.

Substitute teachers help fill the gaps when teachers are ill or on personal leave. The problem is that there aren’t enough substitutes – who usually work as needed for low pay.

So school districts are using innovative ways to find other subs and have expanded their pool of candidates to include parents, school bus drivers and even members of the military.

“It’s been tough to hire subs,” said Jean Consolla, principal at Mount Eagle Elementary in Fairfax County, Virginia.

“I had a teacher about to go on maternity leave, and I’m wondering how to cover the time she is gone.”

“Then it occurred to me: What about using my son, Julian, who will be on a college break, as a substitute teacher? He has a positive attitude, likes to work with kids, and can make some money.”

Julian Consolla, 20, is majoring in sports administration. Having completed the required 30 hours of college credits needed to become a sub in Virginia, he thought it would be a good opportunity.

“It was kind of nerve-wracking at first, but after I got used to the routine, it got easier and was fun,” he told VOA.

At another school in Fairfax County, McNair Upper Elementary, Sophie Carter is also a college student and substitute teacher.

Since her major is elementary education, she considers this an ideal job,

“I’m getting classroom management skills, and hopefully I’m making the environment fun and engaging in the classroom. This has strengthened my love for teaching.”

Principal Melissa Goddin wishes more college students like Carter would apply since substitute teachers are so hard to come by.

“There are a lot of job opportunities in this area. We’re competing with places that allow people to work from home who want to avoid the possibility of being exposed to the virus at school.”

The situation is similar in Ohio.

“I think people don’t want to expose themselves to the virus if they don’t have to,” said Dawn Gould, community relations coordinator at Kings Local Schools in Kings Mills, Ohio.

“Our substitute fill-in rate was under 50% this week,” she said in an interview with VOA. “We had to close school one day recently because we were having a hard time filling the classrooms.”

A bachelor’s degree is usually required to be a sub in Ohio. But now, during the pandemic, that’s not necessary.

“We’re hopeful we can get more parents to sub who may not have a degree,” she said.

Schools in the western United States have also been calling for parents to help volunteer or substitute teach.

This flyer advertises for badly-needed substitute teachers for the Palo Alto Unified School District in California. It was placed on the district’s website, along with a video, to encourage parents to apply.

In California, the Palo Alto Unified School District is urging parents to volunteer with its “Together, Schools Stay Open” campaign.

“We haven’t been fully staffed for months with enough teachers or substitute teachers,” said Don Austin, the district superintendent. “About 10% of our teachers are out every day.”

Parent Jen Wiener answered the call for help.

Having parents in the classroom “is not a quick fix” to the problem, she said. “But the kids need to be in school, so let’s encourage the parents to help out.”

A school district in Texas says it can get only half of the substitutes it needs.

“People are testing positive or they’ve been in close contact with someone who has symptoms, so they stay home,” said Tim Savoy, chief communications officer for the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, outside Austin.

“We reached out to parents as substitute teachers. Although they would usually need a certain number of college credits, the school principal can waive the requirement.”

The rules have also been relaxed in other states.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill that would temporarily “allow trusted staff members such as secretaries, paraprofessionals, and others to work as substitute teachers until the end of the current school year.”

School bus drivers, cafeteria workers and administrative assistants who have a high school education can also be used, according to R.J. Webber, assistant superintendent for academic services at Novi Community School District.

“Our teachers provide lesson plans for the substitutes, who make sure the kids are looked after and safe,” he said.

But that’s disconcerting to Colin Sharkey, executive director of the Association of American Educators.

“It’s concerning that the standards are being lowered,” he said, “but understandably, districts are just trying to do anything to make sure that there’s some supervision in the classroom.”

Due to “extreme staffing shortages,” New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is asking members of the National Guard to volunteer as substitute teachers. “Our schools are a critical source of stability for kids. We know they learn better in the classroom,” she said.

Iran Teachers Protest New Pay Scales as Inflation Bites

Hundreds of teachers rallied in cities across Iran Thursday to protest against changes to their pay and pensions that come just as soaring prices hit their wallets, state media reported.

In Gilan province on the Caspian Sea coast, around 150 teachers marched in the city of Rasht, while another 70 did so in Lahijan, the state broadcaster reported.

Protesters chanted slogans such as “if embezzlement is reduced, our problems will be solved,” and “we only heard promises, we didn’t see justice”, it said.

In Iran’s third-largest city, Isfahan, around 300 teachers demonstrated, the Mehr news agency reported, adding that another protest was held in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari province in the southwest.

Social media platforms showed similar protests in Neyshabur in the northeast, Kermanshah in the west and Khorramshahr in the southwest.

The government wants to introduce a new grading system for teachers based on experience and performance.

The protesters are opposed to the way it will be implemented. They are also demanding that the government move more quickly to align pensions with the salaries of working teachers.

Hit by severe economic sanctions imposed since 2018 by the United States, Iran has seen inflation soar to close to 60%, exacting a heavy toll on the standard of living of public sector staff and others on fixed incomes.

Civil servants in one of Iran’s most powerful sectors, the judiciary, held rare demonstrations on Sunday against the government’s refusal to increase their pay.

On Monday, attorney general Mohammad Jafar Montazeri threatened to prosecute the protesters.

Ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi, who assumed his post in August, had proposed a salary hike in the last weeks of his previous job as judicial chief.

But the new government which he leads changed its mind.
