Ministry unaware of allegations by West Dem teachers

Oct 08, 2009 News

Fox says there’s no evidence to support

Minister within the Ministry of Education, Desrey Fox, has said that she is unaware of the allegations made by teachers of the West Demerara area.
According to Ms Fox, the allegations make no sense, and added that the Ministry has no time to waste with such an issue.
This comment comes after teachers of West Demerara schools accused the Ministry of identifying the top performers from other primary schools in the Grade Five level, and transferring them to the Leonora Primary to write the Grade Six Assessment Examination.
The teachers call the Ministry’s actions 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 feel that this action is a deliberate ploy to make the Leonora Primary School shine.
“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.
There is no evidence with which to substantiate the claims made by the West Demerara teachers, Ms Fox stated.
