### State Government Ensures Classes Resume This Monday
The Governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, confirmed the return to school for primary education on Monday, August 26. In a significant announcement, she revealed that an agreement had been reached with the leadership of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE) for the long-awaited retroactive pay of 11% salary increment for active workers and retired teachers of Section 37. Additionally, issues concerning payments and labor disputes for Section 2 were also addressed.
### Classes to Commence Regularly
Governor Marina del Pilar utilized social media to announce that the retroactive pay will be disbursed on Friday, August 30. She emphasized that the commitment to education is demonstrated through concrete actions. “To all parents, regular classes will commence as planned,” she stated in her video address.
### Endorsement from SNTE Officials
To further signal unity, a photograph featuring the key leaders of Sections 2 and 37, Juan Enrique Villanueva Villa and Ampelio Íñiguez Arellano, was released, showing their support for the Governor’s announcement.
### CNTE Opposes Return to Classes
Despite the optimistic portrayal, Marco Antonio Pacheco Peña, the state coordinator for the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) in Baja California, voiced opposition to the claimed resumption of classes. He made it clear that classes would only resume once teachers see the payment deposited in their accounts, suggesting that activities are unlikely to restart by Monday but may do so by Tuesday.
Pacheco accused the Governor of failing to address payments for interim teachers, a critical issue with significant financial implications. “If the strike is lifted, more than 2,700 educational workers will be left defenseless without pay,” he said, emphasizing the necessity to continue their struggle for guaranteed payments to interim and state teachers.
