Ministry of Education Permanent Secretary for Technical Services, Joel Kamoko, has urged Copperbelt University (CBU) management to ensure that students resume classes while unionised workers’ bargaining for better conditions of service is going on.
Mr. Kamoko said the CBU lecturers should be flexible and put the interest of the nation first by ensuring that students, who have not been learning for some weeks now, resume classes.
He is in the Copperbelt Province to engage CBU management to enable students to resume classes while the bargaining for the conditions of service is being addressed
Mr. Kamoko said this in Ndola today when he called on his Copperbelt Province counterpart Augustine Kasongo.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kamoko has advised the 1,500 teachers who have not been on the payroll since 2020 but were given appointment letters to take their qualifications to the Ministry of Education headquarters for scrutiny.
He said the affected teachers will be put on the payroll if their qualifications are found to be genuine.
Mr. Kamoko has meanwhile urged the affected teachers not to re-apply during the ongoing recruitment process as their details are already in the system.
And Mr. Kasongo said what is happening at the Copperbelt University is worrying and needs to be addressed urgently.
The Headline is something else
PS PLEADS ??
ON HIS KNEES ??
Mgt should be serious with the numbers they are putting on the table. How can you give 4% to your employees, when inflation is at 24%?
And please stop putting that increament in % form give it in money term say, K2000. As a Union Chairman, I found this helpful and easy to explain to my members.
Going forward, we as Parents should be demanding for a refund for the days our children were not tought. I pay K20,000 for a semister and my child is not tought for one month. It means CBU should refund me K3,333. That is value for money.
