Zimbabwe
Teachers end strike after three weeks
Teachers, like most civil servants in Zimbabwe, have been earning about $100 a month.
Raymond Majongwe is president of the Progressive Teachers Union, one of two main unions for teachers. He says teachers want $500 a month, but that he decided to end the strike because it was hurting the children.
Zimbabwe's education system has been in decline for a decade due to falling government revenues and an exodus of teachers. Analysts blame the crisis on the policies of President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF party. But the party blames it on sanctions imposed by western countries.
