Regarding salary increases, Marquez argued that “to cover the food basket you have to have 552 dollars and the salary of a category 6 teacher is Bs 798, that is 21 dollars.”
“We hope the government will respond because if not we will continue to protest. He announced, “On January 15, Teacher’s Day, there will be a national protest.”
Similarly, he stressed that “Yes, there are school dropouts, in recent years we have seen many children on the streets, especially high school students (…) there are school dropouts and migrant teachers.”
