The UCP made this big promise to build schools and then forgot to put any school-building money in the budget.

It is impossible to build schools if you allocate $0 toward building schools.

The UCP are liars and that is a big part about what this strike is about. There needs to be a contract that ties the hands of bad faith actors (the UCP) to force them to do the things they said they were going to do anyway. Funding public education closer to the national average instead of the lowest in the country would also be a good thing to tie the government to.
