The Secondary Education Teachers’ Federation (OLME) in Greece has reiterated that teachers will fully join the 24‑hour ADEDY strike on 16 December, dismissing earlier claims of non‑participation as false and misleading. According to OLME, teachers’ involvement is part of broader public sector protest activity linked to opposition against the national budget, with educators aligning their grievances with other workers. Public communication from teacher representatives emphasises solidarity with collective labour movements while pushing back against misinformation. The announcement also notes that some school closures are expected as a result of the strike, with implications for the academic calendar and student learning continuity. While the protest is framed around socioeconomic and labour rights issues, its impact on education, including potential interruptions to classes and school services, positions it as a key development for Greek teachers, students and parents in the coming days.
