The Mwense District Administration office has assured teachers that it is working closely with the Department of Education to ensure that promotions and transfers of the teaching staff are done on merit.
District Administrative Officer Phillip Muonga says a transparent system of promotions and transfers would motivate the teachers to work hard in the district.
The media reports that addressing teachers at Mwense Secondary School, Mr Muonga said the government remains committed to ensuring that teachers are motivated through performance and competent-based promotions to various positions in the teaching fraternity.
“As a government, we want to see teachers being promoted and transferred on merit so that everyone can be motivated to work hard,” Mr Muonga said.
He also urged teachers to engage the District Administrative Office whenever need arises, saying the New Dawn government embraces an open door policy.
Mr Muonga also said the government is aware of the strides made by teachers in improving the performance of learners as indicated by the impressive results that were recorded by examination classes last year in the district.
He said he was optimistic that the over 90 percent pass rate target that the district has set for 2025 can be attained through dedication and hard work from both teachers and pupils.
“Let us continue working towards improving learner performance through provision of quality education,” Mr Muonga said
