By A Correspondent- Education minister Cain Mathema has warned incapacitated teachers who are failing to report for duty that the government will have no alternative but relieve them of their duties and replace them with the over 20k unemployed trained teachers.
Mathem said this while presenting his ministerial statement to parliament Wednesday.
Mathema called on the teachers to report for duty while their issues are being addressed using the appropriate channels.
He said :
“…schools opening was characterised by a low turn out of teachers..but we are hoping that teachers will return to work while their issues are bing resolved using the appropriate channels.
We call upon the teachers to reflect on their action. There are over 20k unemployed but trained teachers and government may not have an alternative because examinations dates have been set and learners should prepare for those exams.”
