In a decisive move, the Cabinet has proposed plans to compensate public school students for lost classroom time due to the recent teachers’ strike.
Teachers refused to teach students for over a week in protest over outstanding payments owed to a handful of educators
The decision comes after significant discussions regarding the strike’s adverse effects on students’ educational experiences, particularly in Primary Schools.
The strike, which revolved around outstanding allowances predominantly affecting Secondary and higher-level teachers, inadvertently disrupted the learning of younger students who were left without essential teaching contact for six crucial days.
Cabinet members expressed concern over the strike’s disproportionate impact, stating, the essence of the teaching profession was compromised as students missed vital instruction.
To address this disruption, the Cabinet has proposed extending the school day, allowing students to regain valuable learning time before the end of the term.
Officials believe this initiative will help minimize the educational gap caused by the strike and reinforce the importance of consistent classroom instruction.
Tsk tsk tsk. Imagine this
Good luck. All you still damn disrespectful
Still trying to spite teachers fir your incompetencies? We areone if the most valuable set of ESSENTIAL WORKERS and you’re spiting them? God nar sleep! Karma is for real you know!
And now throw parents schedule out of wack. Consider that. Some of us get 1 hour break which we use to pick up our children from school when u extend the time what happens then
Children already dont like school. Look at what these silly teachers caused
The students deserves to get extra make up classes. The teachers should be short paid for not working. They had no reason to put down their chalk
Utter nonsense. How we are not hearing about the after classes that teachers facilitate to prepare our children for national assessment and CXC without being paid! How many teachers go shopping for items for projects and experiments for our children without being compensated? The good teachers ensure that no child is left behind . These stories go unrecognized. But because they have the back bone to take a stand unlike some of you weaklings yall bashing them. But we will always remember the teachers for their stand. They have set a standard. Careful how you handle teachers. I respect them for their ee
Like I always maintain…this situation could have been resolved better. It didn’t have to come to this
Lol hahaha you know the teacher will strike again right? If they do this, mark my words lol. They want to take action for their wrong. Come on be real!
