WILLEMSTAD - The new union for teachers DOEN will hold a manifestation this coming Friday against announced cutbacks in education.
That was decided on Tuesday during a members' meeting. The event starts at 10 o'clock on Wilhelminaplein. According to chairman Marbella Felipa, the event is supported by educational unions in Aruba and Sint Maarten.
Felipa thinks it is the wrong signal that the Netherlands is investing heavily in education on the BES islands, but through conditions for corona loans it is necessary to implement budget cuts in Curaçao.
