A nationwide strike by Bolivian teachers has escalated as educators demand higher wages and oppose proposed education reforms, halting classes across the country. Protesters argue the government’s reforms weaken teaching standards and fail to address systemic underfunding in schools. Authorities have responded with negotiations, but tensions remain high as teachers insist on concrete improvements before returning to classrooms. The dispute underscores broader frustrations over economic conditions and public sector compensation in the region.
