On Monday, the National Union of Educators (UNE) called on hundreds of Ecuadorian teachers to march in Quito and demand the protection of their labor rights, funding for public education, and security guarantees. This day reaffirms that the defense of public education is sustained by arguments, organization, and mobilization. We will continue to monitor the Constitutional Court’s ruling and maintain our fight for quality public education and for the rights of those who make it possible. In public institutions, it is very sad to see how so many students do not receive a good education,” she added. The teachers’ march concluded at the Constitutional Court, where UNE leaders filed a constitutional challenge against Ministerial Agreement 045A.
