“We need to know one another, and who’s doing what in each province.” said Na’eem Ramadan, an Arabic teacher from Dessouq, in the northern Nile Delta province of Kafr el-Sheik. “We can’t stay fragmented… We have to strike. The people (teachers) have reached their limits and cannot take it anymore. Before Kefaya, no one used to demonstrate in the streets. It’s different now. But we will not be able to do anything unless we unite ourselves. In Dessouq, we are staging a sit-in 20 September, on the first day of classes. We are not going to our schools. We will go to the Teachers’ Syndicate Club in Dessouq and assemble there. Other provinces need to do the same.”
