The hypocrisy of GES officers is legendary

As soon as they leave the classroom to the offices, they begin perpetrating the very things they once complained about.

When information about school reopening was posted on GES and MOE’s Facebook page, we all adhered to it and resumed school.

When the semester was changed back to trimester, it was again posted on GES and MOE website on Facebook and other social media platforms and that’s exactly what we are following.

There was no letter to the various Regional and District offices to that effect or not any that I’m aware of, but it is binding on all of us to comply.

We have all agreed that time have changed and so, ways of communication have also not remained the same.

Now, GES officers in charge of monitoring and supervision as part of their mandate are going round inspecting teachers’ work (with lesson notes as the major focus as always as if it is the panacea to all the problems we face in the classroom).

They rejected printed lesson notes in a certain school and asked that the said teachers bring handwritten notes instead and when they were referred to a letter on the GES Facebook page that has redefined the nature of lesson notes to include electronic and printed ones, they claim they have not been served any official letter from GES so they can’t go by that directive.

Is that not hypocrisy? If GES is supposed to bring letters to the various offices before their directives can be implemented, should it only be about lesson notes or every other thing?

Anyway, I am going to print the letter and paste it on the front page of my E-LESSON NOTE. In fact, I will print an extra copy to give them on behalf of GES if that is what they need. I hate stress.

A whole District Director and SISO, you have been informed that external monitors are coming around and the only thing you found worthy of reminding teachers about is to update their lesson notes. AYEKOO!!! Keep it up.
