A message from an Ethiopian lecturer
@@Besufka32300866
'' am a lecturer who couldn't even afford to take my sick mom to the hospital.
This strike is a matter of survival for me and my family. I am not asking for luxury I AM ASKING TO SURVIVE.
I NEED TO BE HEARD.
Did you know that Ethiopian university lecturers earn 8000 birr per month, with a rent allowance of 500 birr/month, or 283 birr per day? Imagine that in today's world, let alone feeding family, not even one person can feed himself.

Teacher effectiveness is not greatly improved by curriculum, new programs, or initiatives. But, when teachers are respected, valued, supported, & feel like their talents are utilized, then morale increases, job engagement soars, & students benefit too!

#Ethiopia continues to implement the peace agreement. Mekele reconnected to the national electric grid. A major peace dividend! Peace & light will continue to shine on Ethiopia.
@LecturersUnion@SafaricomET@mfaethiopia @ethembassyUS @FMoHealth@BBCWorld@AJEnglish@VOAAmharic The 3rd nationwide Job Strike held by Ethiopian university lecturers & technical assistants is still intensified and continuing.
Since the government doesn't prioritize education, it said noting to their concerns about the extremely low wages and living standards.

Today is third day of Ethiopian University Lecturers #jobstrike.
We can't ensure Education quality with a lot of meetings, conferences and online examination. Lecturers are the main actors but they shouldn't have to worry about survival. @fdremoe
