WORLD IN BRIEF : PERU : Teachers’ Strike Ends After 106 Days

Students were called back to class after a bitter three-month teachers’ strike that disrupted school for 8 million children across Peru, according to radio reports. The strike, settled Thursday, lasted 106 days and saw near-daily clashes between teachers and anti-riot police in downtown Lima. Details of the agreement that ended the strike were not revealed. Teachers, who make $50 a month, walked out May 8 demanding more money. The government offered to double wages, but union leaders demanded $400 a month. Classes will now be held Saturday until mid-February so the school year won’t be lost, an Education Ministry spokesman said.
