The teachers ended a two-day strike yesterday, with the primary, secondary and high schools involved expected to return to normalcy.

At the end of a meeting with President of the Republic, Manuel Zelaya, the country’s Federation of Teachers said “talks are evolving positively.”

According to union leader Milton Bardales, the Executive expressed its commitment to solve the strikers’ main demand, which is to eliminate arrears in payments to the Teaching Forecast Institute, amounting to 2.40 billion lempiras ($127 million.)
