“Report any suspicious acts and be on the alert at all times,” is the appeal made by the Guyana Teachers Union [GTU] to teachers and parents as it condemned “the unruly behaviour of our citizens, in various parts of this country and the threat to limbs and lives of our teachers and public servants and especially students.”
According to the GTU, it has watched with dismay video footage of innocent children who were traumatised and injured by riotous individuals.
In voicing its concern, the union called attention to a state of affairs where harm is caused to innocent children on their way to school and teachers in the course of executing their duties. “We condemn this most cowardly act and wish to urge everyone who may still be entertaining such thoughts, to desist immediately in their thoughts and actions, from any activity which can lead to inciting fear, tension and violence or cause damage to limbs, property or even lost of lives.”
Added to this, the union is calling on parents to help protect teachers since “without them your children’s educational output can be hampered.”
