Dear Editor,
I would have noted in various media sources articles on the protest by teachers of Region 5 pertaining to the withholding of salaries. Mr. Editor, would this in turn highlight the similar issue that the teachers of Region 10 are facing?
Please note that teachers of the region have been suffering harshly at the hands of the Education officers. Over the past three years, hardworking teachers of the region that hold this country together have been treated like outcasts by the Regional Education Officers.Salaries have been withheld for the following periods and reason:
7 months – leaving the country without permission (urgent medical purposes).
4 months – not resuming duties due to the sudden death of family member.
5 months – for not resuming for duties due to being involved in an accident overseas (medical certificate was sent).
Among others, last but not least, 5 months for not wanting to take up a riverain position.
The list can go on As I would have read about the “Ghost Education Officer” who is not in Sub District 2 of Region 10, I looked to the sky and wondered; “Has her salary been withheld or is she receiving her salary, allowances and quota of supplies for her appointed position?
I looked to the sky and wondered; could the salaries of the ReDO be withheld for not leaving a Region she has performed adequately in and continues to do so? There needs to be an intense investigation and audit on the happenings at the Department of Education Region 10 as soon as possible.
Region 10 Teacher
