In other news, NUGS has called on to both parties, the government and CETAG to have a sit-down resolution to the ongoing strike.

NUGS believes the strike action majorly affects students, and as a matter of fact, initiators of the strike action need to put the interest of students at first.

The President of NUGS reported that the strike action has led to depression and frustration among students as there’s no hope when school is resuming.

The strike has disrupted the school’s academic calendar, delayed students who are supposed to complete this year and left students stranded.

We hope CETAG’s discussion with the government become fruitful so students get back to class.
