The Belize Teachers Union has announced that the strike continues into Day 5 on Friday. Tomorrow, it will be announced if the strike will proceed into the following week.

The ten branches of the Union are meeting countrywide and on Friday morning, the Council of Management will meet and thereafter communicate the decision on whether the strike will continue into next week.
