It is both scandalous and sad that while the Guatemalan government is indulging in a melodramatic political charade, dissipating public funds in the process, many schools throughout the country are today commencing the new school year without basic budgets available for pupils’ food and teachers’ contracts.
This morning I heard the news that this school in Sacatepequez does not have signed contracts for their teachers and that the government had not sent the funds for the pupils’ food neither.
