1. It is obvious that the financial situation of our association is deteriorating. This is also a weakness of our teacher’s attitude that he is not understood in the association. Therefore, we will work hard to understand the basic purpose of the association Let’s get inside.
2. We strongly urge you to continue to intensify your demands while doing your duty until the teachers get a proper answer to their fair demands.
3. While everyone should know and understand that the teachers’ demand regarding salary arrears is proper and legal, the answers to this proper and legitimate demand of teachers are not appropriate for the profession and teachers. Answering this question of teachers and giving reasonable answers based on honesty can not only give respect to our staff and profession but also have its own role in the quality of education.
4. The Pretoria Agreement is a struggle for peace and improvement of the lives of teachers. The Tigray Interim Government should work seriously with the federal government and the international community to return the displaced teachers . The meeting concluded with an 11-point constitutional statement.
