Teacher in Chibombo district of Central Province have resolved not resume work after schools opened today for the second term until their needs were addressed.
This is according to a press statement made available to ZANIS in Kabwe this afternoon and signed by Secondary Schools Teachers Union of Zambia (SESTUZ) district Chairperson Morgan Muchindika, Basic Teachers Union of Zambia (BETUZ) Chairperson Bright Anusa and Zambia National Union of Teachers (ZNUT) district Chairperson Edward Phiri.
The teachers stated that they were owed huge sums of money for various entitlements.
They said some teachers needed to be paid rural hardship allowances, settling allowance, housing allowance, leave travel benefits and other allowances.
The three unions also stated that the Ministry of Education should do away with the use of coordinators as a measure to pay rural and remote allowances.
“We demand that government should deduct rentals on housing allowance and not the basic salary as indicated in their memo,” the three unions further stated.
