Berbice Remedial Programme teachers yet to be paid

Sep 26, 2011 News

 

 
Teachers in Berbice who participated in the National Summer Remediation Programme, which was held during July and August, are yet to be paid.
Many teachers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, for fear of being victimized, have expressed fears that there would be a repeat of last year’s episode when they were paid until December.
Up to early this year, many teachers who had participated in last year’s programme were still not paid, due to “their names were left out”.
Hundreds of teachers participated in the programme, which targeted low achievers in Math and English, and classes were held Monday to Thursday from 09:00hrs- 13:00hrs.
Some teachers are irate that it is now over a month since the programme ended and they still have not been paid the “meager $30,000 stipend”.
Meanwhile, Kaieteur News understands that Programme Coordinator Enid Etwaroo visited some schools and asked for the list of names of teachers who participated in the programme.
Sources have revealed that not all the teachers who participated in the programme in Berbice would be paid, since some schools had too many teachers that signed on to teach the programme.
This left some teachers to question how they will be compensated for the efforts put in during the programme.
Also, some have accused the authorities in Berbice of poor planning since they only seem to be concerned with how many teachers participated in the programme.
