Senior Minister Reginald Austrie condemns protest action at State College

Senior Minister Reginald Austrie has condemned protest action at the Dominica State College, saying lecturers should have been considerate of the needs of students, who are this week writing exams.

Lecturers began strike action on Monday to protest outstanding salary issues and the deteriorating physical state of the college facilities.

Mr. Austrie argued that the lecturers showed callous disregard for the students.

Mr. Austrie said the DSC protest action was influenced by political motives.
