SOME teachers in Chibombo District have not reported for work since schools opened on Monday, as a way of demanding payment for their rural hardship and fixed band allowances, SESTUZ has disclosed .
SESTUZ District Chairperson Morgan Muchindika disclosed this to ZANIS in Kabwe yesterday and added that the teachers have not been paid their allowances as agreed upon by the union and Government in 2002 onward.
Mr. Muchindika said that the government was aware that the three unions in the district, ZNUT, BETUZ and SESTUZ had given them up to 30th January to pay up the said allowances, failure to which they would continue with the withdraw of their labour.
“While we appreciate that the government agreed to cater teachers by way of giving the rural hardship allowances, they should have it done to avoid transfers and teachers migrating into town,” he said.
He further said all schools in the district were affected and appealed to the government to act quickly for it is pointless for teachers to be traveling from rural areas into town were teachers have more incentives and have privileges of conducting tuition because they have electricity in their homes.
And ZNUT District trustee Philimon Ngwadzai has appealed to the government to look into the plight of teacher’s accommodation in rural areas.
He said that currently some teachers were sleeping in huts, which was inhuman because they deserved better living conditions as government workers.
“For effective teaching and productive products to be seen from schools, government should implement all the related allowances because, without motivation, you are making the innocent pupils to suffer,” Mr Ngwadzai said.

Baby C you are right!!! They are also busy changing the Constitution!! That costs money too.
This Govt is not serious!!
Thats a pity indeed..
It only takes a day to increase MP’s salaries! Why is it taking ages to pay the teachers? Its not fair 😮
Is this true??
Some of you guys on this blog, do you just lie in wait for the new topic? It appears you spend all the time on LT. I envy the kind of work you do if at all you work where you spend all the time on the internet. All the best folks.

We actually smell a new topic!!!
Well done Baby C, you’re on top again!
I feel sorry for thiese teachers.
Jamaco, I think #7 Leon is referring to you, but he better mind heis own bizz:d
MMD, a govt of lunatics. MMD leaders are in a world of their own. They know the reality of the Zambian society but the deliberately ignore. But, I believe that there is a time for everything. A time to appear and a time to disappear. MMD will disappear faster than they came on the political arena in Zambia. Watch this space.

Hi Cutey, long time no chat…how’s the weather down under?

Hi Cutey, tilipo.there are just too many problems in Zed.
Government please give the teachers their money. it’s not easy to live in the bush.
These teachers have waited for too long
I think some one works as a Shushushu, Why so many questions.
Leon could be a private detective.
Whatch out Guys.
Now back to the topic.
The teachers must be paid ASAP.
Cos its our children who will suffer , can you imagine no education.
this is not fair.
Pipo, please be serious.
What is annoying is when it`s election time they will have the energy to go and waste their vote.
:d
Following “SESTUZ District Chairperson Morgan Muchindika disclosed this to ZANIS in Kabwe yesterday and added that the teachers have not been paid their allowances as agreed upon by the union and Government in 2002 onward”, please GRZ give the teachers the allowances for they have been waiting long enough while new MPs and Cabinet that appeared in 2006 has have their allowances increased and probably they will be paid immediately. Let us be serious GRZ and give what is due to the rural teachers.

you teachers there u dont deserve an increament in your salaries because there enough .so just suffer
Im sure all the teachers who are affected are those working in the Govt schools. You people in Govt Is it because you all send your children to private schools that you dont care how our children will be affected?
Ngwadzai is right, without motivating teachers you make the innocent pupils to suffer.
And in future when we have the less educated contesting presidency you begin to insult them in public rallies.

Teachers must be motivated to have a high standard of education like in private institution.epela
