TRIPOLI (LIBYA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Libya’s teachers’ movement has announced that the general strike will continue until its demands are met, rejecting an appeal by Parliament urging teachers to return to work.

Teachers are calling for the immediate payment of outstanding salary arrears according to a clear timetable, the implementation of the new pay system with a cap of 50% on allowances and benefits across all sectors, and the passage of a special law safeguarding their professional dignity.

They are urging the House of Representatives and the executive authorities to turn announcements into concrete, verifiable action, confirming that the protest will continue until effective responses are guaranteed.
