Hundreds
march against public education budget cuts in Brazil
Hundreds
of people take to the streets in more than 80 cities in Brazil, including in
Rio de Janeiro, to protest against cuts to the public education budget and
other measures by President Jair Bolsonaro's government.
Union
leaders called for a strike in the education sector, denouncing funding cuts
from elementary schools to higher public education and plans to open federal
universities to private investment. The government says it is implementing the
cuts across the board and in an equal way.
The
latest cuts of 348 million reals (about 87 million dollars) were imposed last
month, targeting school textbooks. The education ministry had already announced
a 30% cut to university funding and blocked all forthcoming scholarships for
master's and doctoral students.***
