Teachers across Algeria go on strike to protest low salaries and poor conditions
February 12, 2025
Algerian teachers launched a two-day strike to protest low wages and poor working conditions, following recent student demonstrations. Despite wage increases under President Tebboune, educators argue salaries remain inadequate. The strike highlights broader discontent over economic struggles, corruption, and limited job opportunities. Students have also protested outdated curricula and high education costs. Public criticism of the government has become rarer amid a crackdown on activism, but unrest in the education sector continues to grow.
