"Dozens of teachers gathered outside the Sao Paulo Museum of Art on Friday as part of a 48-hour strike over pay, working conditions and the education policies of Governor Tarcisio de Freitas. Footage shows demonstrators listening to speeches led by Professor Bebel, head of the Union of Teachers of Official Education of the State of Sao Paulo, while holding signs reading: 'Tarcisio imposes hell on teachers' and 'Enough of the chaos and degradation in education.' Protesters called for Bill 1316/2025 to be withdrawn, saying the proposed administrative reform in the education sector would harm public education. "This government's contempt for education is clear. It refuses to respect workers' rights and now wants to approve a bill that would tear apart the entire teaching career plan," said a protester. For her part, Ana, a second protester, stated that "The category of teachers is being massacred" by the government of Tarcisio and his Secretary of Education, Renato Feder. Another protester claimed that "teachers are under attack from Tarcisio's government and Secretary Feder." "They are taking away rights, weakening public education, and trying to hand public schools over to privatisation. At the same time, they are spending millions on online platforms, wasting money that should be going directly into education," she added. Teachers approved further protests until Governor Tarcisio de Freitas withdraws the education reform Bill 1316/2025 from the Sao Paulo state assembly. The next assembly is set for April 28."
