An increase in allowances along with addressing hot classrooms were some of the issues highlighted by teachers at a meeting on Monday with President Irfaan Ali at State House in Georgetown.
The meeting saw President Ali and cabinet ministers directly engaging with senior teachers and head teachers who highlighted the urgent need for a number of improvements in the education sector.
According to the principal of St. Stanislaus College, allowances should be prioritised over salary increases since after taxes are deducted from their monies, teachers are not left with anything substantial.
