The Syndicate Coordination Committee staged a rally on Tuesday near the Ministry of Education in Beirut's UNESCO area over the ongoing procrastination by officials to resolve the wage hike dispute.

“We have been protesting over the years and we are convinced that our demands are righteous but politicians only aimed at undermining our endeavors,” the SCC said.

Protesters reiterated calls on the state to “rectify the wage scale, which is their right.”

UNESCO's rally was accompanied by simultaneous demos across the country as private and public schools closed their gates at 12:00 pm to take part in the protest.
