Slovak teachers go on strike to demand higher salaries
Slovak teachers go on strike
Bratislava - MENA
Thousands of Slovak teachers have gone on strike to demand higher pay, forcing authorities to close hundreds of schools across the country, according to ABC News.
Organizers said more than 11,000 teachers from over 700 schools are participating in the strike.
They say the average salary for teachers in Slovakia is only about 650 euros ($703) per month and has barely increased in the last five years.
They want a pay rise of 140 euros per month this year and another 90 euros per month next year.
They also ask for more money for the education sector.
The government said it would not be able to do anything for them until the next parliamentary elections, scheduled for early March.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
