As the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) continues to press the issue of a multi-year agreement, the Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, has said that that such matters are dealt with at the level of the President’s office.
“As you are aware that the Ministry has never negotiated, it’s always been from a level of Office of the President.” Minister Manickchand said when contacted.
Responding to a recent question about talks with the GTU on a comprehensive package, President Irfaan Ali said that his plans entail travelling and listening to teachers across the country, to get an idea of what is needed.
