That is until all the plights
of teachers raised in 2017 are fully met by government. The reason d’etre is to
cause government to meet completely the needs of teachers in the phase of multiple
crisis facing the country.
It should be recalled that a plethora
of issues were raised to the Yang Philemon
administration and ad-hoc Committee for teachers headed by his Excellency Prof.
Ghogomo Paul in 2017 as a called for immediate actions to solve the Teachers and
Lawyers pacific strike in 2016.
Which the two ad-hoc committees
validated and gave a dateline to start meeting the expected needs of the two parties.
As we report half of the half begged promises were not met and no concreted explanations
or statement made by the state or the said Ministry in question to enlighten the
teachers.
Which is the reason why the movement
for “On a Trop Supporte” (OTS) and “Enough is Enough” (EIE) on the 22nd
of April 2022 in Tibati, unanimously called for an indefinite nation wide strike
and school boycott by teachers. Declaring no teaching for the time being, no participation
in 20th May celebration and pedagogic meetings nor report submissions by teachers
to hierarchy etc, till the plights of teachers are trashed completely.
This recent pressing call for
pressing needs puts Prime Minister Dione Ngute and the Minister of Secondary education
Dr. Nalova Lyonga and all Sectary of States plus Directors of Education to task.
What must be noted is that this
call for strike by teachers comes to accompany piles of other threats of possible,
eminent strike actions pending from all sectors or works of life in the country.
