The Kosovo government said today that it opposes what it called “an unreasonable strike” organized by the Education Union and called on the teachers to resume their classes. Prime Minister Isa Mustafa said the government has gone beyond the budgetary limits to meet the demands of the teachers. “There is no reason to stop classes. Schools are there to provide education for the children, and not for someone to get paid without holding their classes. We all need to act responsibly. The teaching staff and the organizers of the strike need to act responsibly. We, the government, will not support such actions and decisions and we will also not support individuals in these unions,” Mustafa said. Arsim Bajrami, the Minister for Education, called on the teaching staff not to waste any more time because the end of the school year is near. He also said that in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Public Administration, they have made technical preparations to pay teachers, and the administrative staff, according to their years of work experience. “Starting from tomorrow, they will receive salaries including the payment for their work experience,” Bajrami said.
