Maï-Ndombe 1: Public school classes tentatively resume after more than a month of strikes; make-up schedule considered

Classes tentatively resumed on Monday in public schools in the Maï-Ndombe 1 education province after more than a month of strikes launched before the school year over unpaid salaries. The provincial government ordered the strike to end after provincial Education Minister Justin Iyolo dissolved the teachers’ inter-union body. Iyolo said some teachers are still resisting and that a make-up schedule will be prepared with the education inspectorate and the PROVED. Teachers are demanding their unpaid salaries for December 2025 and January 2026.
