Several Schools Suspend Classes on March 24 Due to Manibela Transport Strike

Several schools have announced the suspension of face-to-face classes on Monday, March 24, 2025, in anticipation of a transport strike led by the transport group Manibela.

The strike is a protest against what the group claims are inaccurate consolidation figures under the government's Public Transport Modernization Program.

To ensure the continuity of learning while minimizing disruptions, many institutions have opted for online learning modalities. Below is a list of schools that have suspended in-person classes:
