All across Chile, teachers are continuing to resist police violence and repression in order to stand for the country’s public education system. Over 90,000 teachers have been on an indefinite strike since June 3 behind the banner of Chile’s largest teachers’ union, Colegio de Profesores de Chile (CPC). Despite continuous mobilisation and demonstrations, the government is refusing to listen to the demands of the teachers.
