Joviel Acevedo

Joviel Acevedo is a prominent figure in Guatemalan education, having served as the leader of the Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Educación de Guatemala (STEG) for two decades. His leadership has been marked by controversies, particularly regarding negotiations and protests that have impacted the school calendar. In May 2024, the STEG's decision to request a financial contribution from teachers for a protest raised questions about the transparency of union operations and highlighted ongoing disputes with the Ministry of Education over collective agreements. Acevedo's tenure reflects the challenges faced by the education system in Guatemala, as it strives for improvement amid significant obstacles.
