Attempts to repeat last year’s long teachers’ strike in Peru appear to have failed. On 3 July a minority faction of teachers’ union Sindicato Único de Trabajadores de la Educación del Perú (Sutep) called off a two-week long strike which had been largely ignored by the majority of the union’s members. The decision was a victory for the government led by President Martín Vizcarra.
