Burundi: Schools to resume but not the university

After a month long strike Burundian primary and secondary school teachers say they will resume work on Monday, but lecturers at Burundi’s public university say they will stay away until their situation changes. "We cannot live on promises," Paul Nkunzimana, the head of the university workers union told reporters in Bujumbura after meeting with the minister of education. The lecturers are demanding three years salary arrears as well as payment for overtime and for supervising students’ thesis.
