The Union Coordination Committee (UCC) has announced a program of escalatory steps it will take, including boycotting official exams and paralyzing the public administration starting on June 7. In the meantime, it is not yet clear whether parliament will be able to strike some sort of deal with the UCC before the ultimatum expires.

Just one week separates us from official exams, and the now-significant possibility that the UCC would boycott them and deny students nationwide the chance to earn their official qualifications, amid general indifference by various parliamentary blocs regarding the rights of teachers and public sector employees.
