On November 10, Bolivian teachers clashed with police in La Paz during the second day of a 48-hour national strike, with officers firing tear gas to disperse protesters attempting to block the highway from El Alto. Authorities confirmed that more than 10 people were detained and at least one officer was injured. The demonstrations oppose a government plan to transfer technical and technological institutes to regional governments—a move unions warn could pave the way for privatization, though the government denies the claim.
