Let reason prevail in teachers’ pay dispute

Schools countrywide are expected to open this week for the third and final term this year. However, the smooth start to a new academic term is clouded with uncertainty as a result of a standoff between teachers and the Government over pay.

Already, the teachers have vowed to go on strike beginning Monday, which coincides with re-opening of schools. This is no doubt a critical time for pupils and students as they are expected to sit crucial examinations whose outcome will shape their future.
