Teachers in schools in West Demerara are peeved at a certain course of action being adopted by the Ministry of Education, which they say robs them of the hard work they put in.
One such teacher who spoke to this newspaper on the condition of anonymity, said that for years the Ministry has been identifying the top performers in other primary schools and at the end of Grade Five, transfers them to the Leonora Primary to write the Grade Six Assessment Examination.
This is what the teachers are calling unfair, given that they have been working for years with the students only to have the schools robbed of the due recognition that they deserve.
The teachers are of the opinion that it is a deliberate ploy, given that each year Leonora Primary School would shine.
What is not known is that the top performers from the other schools are transferred to that school, the teacher said.
“We work very hard with these students in order to make them knowledgeable and it is totally unfair for the Education Ministry to do something like this. We need to be recognised for our work too…not just the teachers at Leonora Primary,” according to some of the frustrated teachers.
