Students of public universities should prepare to go without learning for more than a year, striking lecturers have said as negotiations with Government hit a wall.

The lecturers were speaking yesterday outside the Ministry of Education premises as they presented a petition demanding a counter-offer to the 2017-2021 collective bargaining agreement.
