They came en masse and from all corners of the Netherlands. Sometimes with quite a delay, but the Zuiderpark in The Hague was reached. Bus after bus entered the park from 11am. Teachers, school leaders, directors and educational support workers went on strike today, primary schools were closed everywhere in the Netherlands. They expressed their anger in a haka, took banners with them, took a selfie with more than 60 people and thus let politicians know that it is code red: money must be added for primary education.
Banners
With the TV program The world moves on (BNNVARA), strike presenter Dolf Jansen reviewed a number of banners and Miss Maaike Ivo and Mabel Mercedes Ramirez from Rotterdam once again explain why extra money is needed.
