Honduran Schools
Reopen After Political Crisis
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduran public schools
reopened to the country's 2 million students
Monday, after four months' political
turbulence.
Newly-inaugurated President Porfirio Lobo
Sosa last Sunday announced opening of school
term, which was forced to end after the
military coup on June 28, 2009 that ousted
former president Manuel Zelaya.
Lobo urged teachers, who only taught for
some 100 days last year, to complete the 200
days of lessons stipulated by the national
education calendar.
Honduran teachers staged many strikes last
year, demanding a rise in salary and voicing
support for Zelaya.
Honduran's incumbent education minister Jose
Alejandro Ventura had been a leading
teacher, who fought actively for better work
conditions for teachers.
