The Teachers Union of Malawi has announced a fresh strike that is expected to commence tomorrow, Tuesday.
TUM President Willy Malimba has told all public school teachers not to report to work tomorrow until government addresses their concerns.
Initially, the union had given government 7 days to start giving them ‘allowances’, a demand which government did not respond to.
This is coming a week after the Presidential Taskforce on Covid19 refused to give the teachers allowances that would come from their PPEs.
It is rumored that Ministry of Education are to seek legal address on how they can apply an injunction to stop the Teacher’s Union of Malawi to implement the protest
Meanwhile, in the Obwande letter – Deus Sandram advises Teacher’s mother body TUM to fight for Teacher’s recommendable package unlike Covid19 risk allowances. The Obwande letter extends advise to the Ministry of education not to take Teacher’s for granted as the product for school closure is evidenced in the low pass rate of Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE)
