    Guatemalan Teachers Protest for Better School Conditions and Job Security

    The Guatemalan Education Workers' Union (STEG), led by Joviel Acevedo, held a protest on August 13 in Guatemala City, demanding better school conditions and job security. Key demands include increased school feeding budgets, transfer of temporary teachers to permanent positions, and provision of daily milk, footwear, and uniforms for students. The protest was marked by the presence of over 50 buses and minibuses, with teachers signing an attendance list to protect against potential sanctions. The Ministry of Education reported that schools opened with 'total normality' despite the protest. The demonstration is part of a long-standing dispute between teachers and the government, particularly President Bernardo Arévalo, over reforms to the Collective Pact.
