This is what Nelson Alarcón, president of Fecode, mentioned to EL TIEMPO: “This strike is not a whim of the teachers, or because we don’t want to work. We believe that the necessary conditions are not in place to return to classrooms safely. The country’s schools do not have the resources to implement the protocols.
