The minister of Secondary Education, Prof. Nalova Lyonga has issued a release summoning some 600 secondary school teachers believed to have abandoned their duty post.
The release issued Wednesday 30 June 2021 suggests the absentee teachers might have abandoned their duty posts in search of greener pastures in other parts of the world.
The release indicates the names, grades, matriculation numbers of the absentee teachers and the schools where they were posted as well as the countries they could possibly be residing after abandoning their job sites. The release gives the runaway teachers seven days period to report to the ministry to answer questions related to them.
The list is dominated by teachers posted in the two conflict-hit North West and South West regions. The minister’s release indicates that of the 600 absentee teachers, 264 are those posted in the two Anglophone regions where armed conflict has been raging for close to five years now. The Centre region comes second with 106. The East region records the least number of escapee teachers, 7.
The decision comes barely months after government to the ministry of Public Service and Administrative Reforms fired some 493 workers said to have abandoned their duty posts and failed to respond to quarrels from government. Files of many others are still said to be under scrutiny for dismissal, the Minister Joseph LE revealed.
Some 8,765 absentee civil servants were issued queries since 2019 for irregular absences and requested. The 493 state workers dismissed were among the batch of 7,622 personnel whose files have been examined during which 315 were declared to have died.
