The prime minister of St Vincent Ralph Gonsalves has appealed to teachers on the island to return to the classrooms.
The teachers have been on strike from last week, protesting a government reclassification exercise.
Their union has said the industrial action will continue until an agreement is reached with the government.
Dr Gonsalves says the current strike could hurt the union, but the opposition leader Arnhim Eustace says the teachers\' action is legitimate.
