Less than a quarter of the U.S. territory's 500,000 students reported for classes on the second day of the island-wide strike, according to Education Secretary Rafael Aragunde, who repeated his call for parents to continue sending their children to school.
The union representing Puerto Rico's 42,000 teachers called the strike after a breakdown in negotiations over demands for higher salaries, smaller classes and more autonomy for individual schools.
