The Report from the High-Level Task Force that was put together in November last year to address the salary negotiations for teachers was today handed over to Minister of Education, Nicolette Henry.
A release from the Ministry of Education said that the report was handed-over this afternoon to the Minister in the boardroom of the Ministry of Education’s 26 Brickdam office by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Vibert Welch.
Also present at the handing-over were members of the GTU, including the General-Secretary, Coretta McDonald, Finance Secretary, Hector Butts, representatives of the Ministry of Communities, Ministry of the Presidency and the Department of Public Service, the release said.
Welch said that the members of the taskforce deliberated strongly for three months and would have overcome whatever differences in a mature and cordial fashion.
The matters addressed included non-salary issues, allowances, debunching and issues that were highlighted out of the Commission of Inquiry in the Education sector and the Guyana Teachers’ Union Multi-Year agreement, the release said.
