Education authorities in the southern region have expressed concern over lack of seriousness among teachers when teaching students at day secondary school as compared to those in night schools.

Education Manager for South East Education Division McGregory Alufandika raised the concern over the weekend.

Alufandika said the conduct is affecting the performance of students in the day secondary schools.

He explained that the ministry of education introduced open schools in order to address the challenge of limited number of secondary schools in the country hence the teachers need to show up for classes at both schools.

Alufandika advised teachers in the region to take notice of the issue and to change their conduct.

He said that officials at the division will be checking if the teachers will be following on what has been communicated to them.

Classes in day secondary schools start from 7:30 and ends at 1:30 while in open secondary schools classes begin from 2:30 and students knock off at 5:30.

Teachers who teach at day secondary schools also teach students at open secondary schools.

  1. Do not blame teachers but yourself for poor policies and illtreatment of teachers.

    1.Teachers are poorly paid and not in time.
    2. If they have an issue with the office they have to travel to the DEMs office which sends the to division which sends them to the ministry headquarter without even an allowance. If there are documents to be filled they have to go to private printing offices which are linked with the offices to have them photocopied. Paying for them, if they can not appear in person their issues are never addressed. How long has the areas issue taken, how about deserving promotions? They just turn out to be campaign tools. Many officers are just sleeping in offices.

    3. The fact that night schools have been sructured in a way that they pay the teacher pompopompo is another tempting factor for teachers. Let night school fees go to government coffers and pay teachers handsomely.

    4. There is the so called partime teaching in primary schools. Teachers engaged coerce pupils to attend part time teaching . These teachers tell pupils that what they teach during part time is what will come during exams. Some work hard during part time for pompopompo payment. You have termed this animal. Gone are the days a teacher could arrange remedial lessons for his/ her pupils.

    You therefore need to address the real causes before you condemn and criticise teachers. Good day.

  10. It is not that a reason to say a teacher works more harder at night schools than in day schools, but we must say our Malawian teachers are underpaid and illtreated by its main employer Malawi government through it subsidiary department Ministry of Education science and Technology, MoEST.
    So our beloved teachers tend to find themselves an additional funding so that they also standardize their family daily lives. What normally is forgotten is that teaching careers in Malawi is termed at owners risk, and a career which transports and filtrate ignorance from intellects and these teachers a the pioneers to witness someone’s future from right at the beginning until that person becomes a president who in most cases mistreat hos or her former teachers. Let the night school teaching continue be a nice one and if those in days feels they are not getting the right stuff, let the abscond classes at Day and join night schools.

  11. Hello friends my name is Musaba Nakushowa I was one of those millions of people around the world suffering from HIV/AIDS and and i was healed through the help of DR Abumen I was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2010, I had no hope and felt useless. All these negative feelings quickly suppressed my body immune system and my body started to deteriorate quickly with physical signs of rapid weight loss, my story began to change for good when i met DR Abumen through a woman’s testimony, he sent me an herbal medicine which i took for some days, after taking the medicine according to doctor’s instruction I went to the hospital to get my blood tested for HIV/AIDS. The doctors were amazed when my first blood test result came back negative. They asked me to go back again for another test, which I did and the result came back negative. The doctors could not believe still,To cut the story short, “DR ABUMEN HERBAL MEDICINE HEALED ME COMPLETELY WITHOUT A TRACE OF THE DEADLY HIV/AIDS VIRUS IN MY BLOOD” am so happy, am sharing this to the world to save some lives, believe me there is a cure, you can contact DR Abumen on his email address [email protected] and you can also call or whatsapp his number which is via +2347085071418.
