Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) has called off a nationwide strike that was slated for Monday, May 9.
TUM made the decision after meeting government officials on Thursday to discuss the issues the teachers want resolved.
Last month, TUM threatened to hold a strike to force government to address a number of challenges the teachers are facing.
Among other issues, TUM want government to hike salaries for teachers who were promoted in 2013.
However, during the meeting government asked for more time to resolve the teachers’ grievances, arguing that the country is currently facing numerous challenges.
The government officials promised the teachers that some of the issues TUM raised will be resolved in June.
Speaking after the meeting, TUM general secretary Dennis Kalekeni said they are to monitor what government has promised to implement.
“Basically the response is that government needs time to be monitored so we are to wait if they are to be implemented and these issues are to be resolved before 30th June,” said Kalekeni.
Kalekeni however vowed that TUM will revive the strike if government fails to keep its promise.

Sikono kapena?
I knew teachers can nt hold demostration or vigil.i wrote on the link dat Teachers r jst threatening they wl not.if u c your welfare is nt being looked @ dnt blame anybody its your dullness.u wl remember me i also feel sory 4 u teacher!
i have never see any logic in the premises presented by tum as it focused on few teachers,they did not touch majority concern such as low wages due to economic factors such as inflation rate,exchange rate which resulted in increased cost of living.as one of teachers who contribute to tum iam not happy with lack of setting priorities in your demands.feedback:[email protected]

Kkkkkkkk mwanza oyeeeee
First and foremost though not concerned…Mwanza you are a disgrace..you make me to conclude that you are not a malawian and it is not hasty to say you were not educated in Malawi…I mean a teacher who taught you to write in queens language as you have done can slap you by what I will term as illogical inhuman and senseless ooze of termerity you have just displayed… Mwanza it doesnt matter what kind of profession you enjoy….But the argument here as displayed by your opposers are valid…kaya inu mumatchena matrouser otani zanu izo..you should learn to remove your political sunglasses when real issues are being voiced…If I were your once in a life time teacher I could not only regret what youve written but also the time I wasted to nurture you.
