‘Teachers faced so many problems in 2015’

Dec 27, 2015 Martha Chikoti Politics 52

Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) has described the year 2015 as a year of challenges as regards to teachers’ welfare in the country.

TUM general secretary Denis Kalekeni was responding to questions on how his organisation fared this year.

Kalekeni stated that it is important that education should be recognised as a key to success and that teachers play a big role in the process.

According to Kalekeni, teachers faced a lot of challenges in creating a good environment for education.

He said that no single teacher was promoted during the year 2015 and he also cited government’s failure to recruit 20,000 teachers who finished teacher’s training in the year as a challenge for the education sector.

Kalekeni however explained that the year 2015 was successful in terms of payment of teacher’s salaries.

TUM has since said that they will be looking forward to government’s assistance in the coming year.

Tum is a passive organisation and not militant at all.3year cohorts of primary and sec teachrs have finishd studies and are at home yet Tum claims it fights for teachrs

A TUM you are assisting teachers. For example Govt lied that the treasury had released the funds for newly graduated teachers from TCC but up to now no one has been recruited and the union is just quiet. Look at nurses and doctors they made noises and newly graduated doctors and nurses are assured of employment. Do something for these young teachers please
