Sounds like the teachers want to go on strike. 2 offers rejected!

lol how it sounds, they do not seem interested in funds.

Many of our current so called "teachers" are not even suitably qualified to be daycare sitters. If they strike government should seize upon the event as the ideal opportunity to break the back of the BUT leadership and fire the entire lot of them.

Our children and grandchildren would be much better off if a great many of these incompetent and D - unqualified teachers were replaced with properly trained and competent A + qualified teachers, even if they have to be recruited from abroad with government waiving all work permit fees and even providing them with generous housing and other allowances.

There is no greater ongoing investment government can make than that made in the education of our youngest people who will be the key determining factor of the well-being of our country for generations to come.

Rarely agree with you, but on this I'm 100% with you

Sadly this is why foreign teachers are brought in. They are so grateful for an opportunity and most actually work. I have told a teacher personally if you got in teaching for the money you are in the wrong field. It is a selfless are of service, if money is your main objective quit and find another job.

Teaching is one of the most noble callings that there is for those who derive satisfaction from educating others, especially children, and are gifted in their ability to impart knowledge and learning skills, often at great sacrifice to their own financial well-being.

Sadly there is very little nobleness to be found anywhere within our nation's public education system today. The entire system needs to fully revamped from the top right on down, which means reformation to include much less administrative interference from a ministry of education choc-a-bloc full of incompetent and nonproductive bureaucrats, and no teachers' union.

The loads of money currently be sucked out of our public education system by the hoards of nonproductive administrative leeches who accomplish nothing, needs to be re-purposed and re-directed within a reformed system to adequately reward well trained and qualified teachers who understand, appreciate and respect the nobleness of their calling.

nah, a lot of unqualifed foreign teachers.
Once you get a teaching certificate, it pertains to certain areas.
Then they compel teachers to teach things they know nothing about, like the biology teacher or the coach made to teach math and butcher it up.
The foreign ones will BS their way.

BTW Education majors have the lowest GPA in most universities. And the mediocre in any field will go on to get Doctorate in Education, the so called DEd, and you will meet some of the most stupid people who only want to be called doctor.

They really need to consider a name change.

But didn't brave and his minions just pounded the desks in the HOA when he said they gave the teachers a salary increase?

The budget allocates money for the next fiscal year and is effective July 1, and the supplementary budget is just a request to parliament for additional funds. The parliament has to debate and pass it. What you heard except for customs rates are proposals.the only thing that was effective immediately were the customs changes which doesn’t require an act of parliament.

Y'all are too gullible, if you believe the words of Brave dem

They are always on strike
