Medical Students on strike.

The problem, the amount of money paid to the students, is judged to be symbolic only, is the point of dispute between the students and the Health Ministry. According to the Nouvelles,? Students at the faculty of medicine went on strike yesterday in the morning. They began by interrupting the other courses already underway in the cathedral and in the faculty Conaco before meeting in a peaceful manner on the esplanade. The students are asking to be paid the last part of the amounts due to them for work done on promotions last year. Also the increase to 2000 ariary a day which was supposed to be an adjustment to take into consideration the present economic difficulties has yet to be received. Up to now the daily rate for medical students has been 300 ariary per day. In principal, their payments are made every three months.?
