Moreover, this strike disrupted the course of teaching-learning in all cycles, because most teachers are observing the movement announced by the various union leaders. The Sels, the Saems, the Uden, the Sels / A, the Snelas / Fc and the Cusems are the union groups that make up the G 6 of Kolda. Students did not attend schools and establishments where classrooms are deserted by teachers. After the first 48 hours of strike, the G 6 returns to the charge for another 48 renewable hours. According to Saloum Sonko, secretary general of Sels / A, the teachers waited a lot for this payment until the deadline of November 30th. However, the allowances related to the examination of the Certificate of end of middle studies (Bfem) are already paid, after a muscular exit of the trade unionists, threatening to paralyze the school system. And this time, it is the non-payment of the Baccalaureate allowances that makes the teachers leave their classes. Even if the side of the Academy Inspectorate is active to settle the situation by a possible payment, the unions of the G 6 do not give up. This 48-hour watchword is renewable until complete satisfaction, according to the unions. And because of this strike, educational meetings already scheduled are canceled and postponed to later dates. teachers waited a lot for this payment until the deadline of November

These meetings would focus on exchanges and sharing of the new Bfem evaluation grids. These are reforms to be applied in terms of student assessment exercises before the Bfem final exam takes place. This means that new candidates must familiarize themselves with these reforms to better understand the subjects of the exam. In the school environment, this strike comes at a time when at the Alpha Molo Baldé high school the second classes are still struggling to start because of the passing exams and especially with the insufficiency of tables-benches and other reception rooms. This sufficiently shows that the G 6 strike is more involved in further delaying the correct start of teaching-learning in certain establishments in Kolda. Besides, these strikes come after only a little over three weeks of classes; hence the concern that begins to settle among learners, especially candidates for the various end of school year exams. Faced with this moment of mood, parents call on the authorities to pacify the school space by satisfying the demands of teachers.
