Eastern province PEO condemns sit-in protests

Share

Eastern Province Education Officer Pilila Jere says sit-in protests by teachers are not the best way of airing their grievances.

Speaking to ZANIS in an interview in Chadiza, Ms Jere said teachers should channel their grievances through their union representatives.

She said confrontation has never been a solution to any dispute, adding that solutions to problems were only achieved through amicable interventions.

Ms Jere said teachers should be patient as their union representatives were engaged in discussions with government over their concerns.
The Provincial Education Officer, who expressed sadness that teachers in some districts in the province were on a sit-in protest, said the move was disadvantaging pupils in the affected schools.

She commended teachers in Chadiza district for not resorting to industrial action even when they equally had similar grievances as other teachers in the province.

Ms Jere said teachers should have the pupils’ interest at heart as pupils suffer the most when teachers shun their teaching duties.

Some teachers in Eastern Province, particularly Petauke, have joined the sit-in protest by their colleagues in other parts of the country to press government for improved conditions of service and payment of rural and remote hardship allowances.

  1. Huh, ba Moze long time..how you..missed you… naimwe namumona ati its boring te? Yashani…mukendelepo pa LT and give them a lecture..lol

  2. Who is this Jere who has been bought? Let the teachers sit. Why is the govt not concerned? Coz no minister has a child in those schools. So why should they worry. Lungwangwa is paid K27m per month, he has K55m worth of talk time per year, fuel is free full tank per week, he does not pay for the house, allowances are more than his salary, he will get K2.9bn Mid term gratuity and in 2011 he get K15bn end of term gratuity. And these are on top of billions he has stolen. Now a teacher gets K600,000 every month and K100,000 HOUSING ALLWANCE. VIVA STRIKE.
