    Smh, Sad for the students to waste a day in this crunch time and the teacher to not be paid.

    I admire your resilience. A whole country will shut down for two teachers. Let the MOE stick to its commitment. That ministry is the sloppiest of them all. Everybody working slowwwwwwwwwwlllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    This man is clearly a trouble maker. You shut down a whole school system for missing payments of a few teachers? Our children are already backward. You are directly wicked.

    During this time? I thought Gaston said yesterday he’s fighting for all people? So how are these people suffering for a earning? and in such a time as CXC and End of Year Exams and even Grade Six National Assessments. Shows the government don’t actually care about us.
