Santiago de Chile, June 11 (RHC)-- Chilean teachers’ strike has entered the second week due to lack of government responses to their demands for better working conditions and structural changes.

Around 70,000 members of the Chilean Teachers' Association are striking for better working conditions, demanding the Ministry of Education to ensure adequate attention to public education and take measures to stop its deterioration.

The union said unemployment continues to increase and the indefinite strike will not be lifted until there is a satisfactory response from the government, which will be evaluated by the association.

Last week, a massive demonstration was called by the teachers in the capital, Santiago de Chile, and many simultaneous demonstrations were held in other cities.  The march attracted more than 75,000 people from all over the country according to numbers provided by the teacher's union.
