Parents of Providence Primary pupils protest dismissal of teacher

A group of parents protesting outside of the Providence Primary School on Thursday.

Parents of pupils attending the Providence Primary School on the East Bank Demerara have been protesting against the dismissal of a Grade Six teacher and are calling on the Guyana Teachers Union and the Ministry of Education to conduct a thorough investigation and have him reinstated.

Rodwell Simon, an assistant master at the primary school, was dismissed by the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) earlier this month on the grounds of neglecting his duties and misconduct.
