October 27, 2009 (Nasir county) — The athorities in Nasir county in Upper Nile state say teachers found working for both non–governmental organization and government institutions will be sacked.
Our producer Gabriel Galuak sent this report from Nasir county.
[Gabriel Galuak]: “The deputy commissioner, Philip Duoth Joack accused some teachers of working for NGOs while they are working with the Ministry of Education - that means they are on the government pay roll. Duoth said that the majority of teachers are working for NGOs. He said a teacher should decide to work either for an NGO or for the government. Duoth formed the committee on Thursday to inspect schools to find out which teachers are working for NGOs while they are still on the pay roll of the government. He said once they are found they shall be removed and then they will recruit other teachers in their place.”
One of the teachers, who asked not to be identified, said the amount of money paid by the education authority in the state can’t sustain him and his family.
The majorities of teachers in Nasir county receive 150 USD per month.
Nasir county has a total of 63 secondary and primary schools with only 133 teachers, some of whom are volunteers.
