EDUCATION

There have been a series of important struggles from the student movements around the world against the tuition fees and the privatization of the education. The trade union movement must be on the frontline of this struggle not only in solidarity with the students struggles. The issue of education is first and foremost and a social issue.
We call the teachers and the professors and the trade unions of all sectors to struggle for a public, free and qualitative education throughout its levels from kindergarten to Ph.D. We need educators that will try to build people with free consciousness, with ideals and principles. We need educators that will try to build militant young
people who will fight for their rights and the interest of the working class and the society.
We struggle for free qualitative books for all pupils and students, to be delivered on time under the responsibility of the state.
We struggle for school infrastructure that meets the needs of the educational process and all the safety precautions.
We struggle for teachers who are backed by their studies and by the state in providing qualitative, creative education
