A coalition of NGOs have begun a series of protests outside the President’s residence to express disapproval of the education sector of the Maldives.
A spokesperson for the NGO coalition, Ibrahim Moahmed, told Minivan News that the protesters waited peacefully outside the presidential residence over the weekend to express their disapproval of the education minister and his policy.
“There were parents, NGOs and other concerned people of the nation regarding numerous issues concerning the education sector,” said Ibrahim. “A person came from inside and told us we would get an appointment with the President tomorrow, and we all dispersed.”
Ibrahim said the NGO coalition consisted “of 127 NGOs.”
