Conditions of Service: Don’t blame us for any brouhaha on pre-tertiary level – Teacher Unions

Pre-tertiary level teacher unions have sent a strong warning to the government and the public regarding the persistent problems in pre-tertiary education across the country in a recent statement.

The unions, who collectively represent a sizable portion of the teaching profession, have voiced a great deal of discontent with how the government has handled their contract discussions.

The statement expresses the unions’ dissatisfaction with the impasse in the negotiations, pointing out that despite protracted talks, no meaningful results have been reached that meet their requests or concerns.

The government’s negotiating team’s perceived lack of power and readiness is partly to blame for this lack of progress, according to the unions.

The unions claim that this deficiency has prevented any significant progress in the talks.

They contend that the educational environment may deteriorate and have an effect on student outcomes and general educational standards if these negotiations, which directly influence the welfare and working conditions of teachers, are not resolved in a proper manner.

The unions also stated in their statement that they should not be held accountable for any disputes or disturbances that may result from the unresolved conditions of service.
