CATHOLIC SCHOOLS PROTEST

Tomorrow there will be a demonstration held in front of the building of the Ministry of Education demanding equal opporunities of financial support with schools maintained by self-governments.

Two hundred Catholic shools protest because they find totally unacceptable the budget bill planning to give them less than for the schools of self-governments (which get also less, by the way). The teachers in Catholic shools will also lose their status of civil servants. The Ministry of Education explains the restrictions by claiming church schools have been unduly privileged so far.
