Walloon teachers strike over education decree, legal challenge filed

Christian and Socialist trade unions announced a strike in several Liège secondary schools for Wednesday, coinciding with a legal appeal by four teachers against a June 5 decree by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles government. The unions argue the measures reduce teacher numbers and increase fees, worsening student support. This marks an escalation in labor opposition to the decree, with legal and industrial action converging.
