CAP-HAITIEN — At the start of the school day Monday, hundreds of students at a local high school, Lycée National Philippe Guerrier, took to the streets to protest the absence of teachers, saying it’s not right for instructors to “do what they want.” However, teachers say, they cannot continue working for free and without support in a country facing massive dysfunction.

‘Depi lycée pa mache, pap gen lekol pou tout moun,’ the students chanted while walking along the city’s streets, meaning ‘no high schools, no schools for anyone.’
