In what is being considered as a desperate
attempt to put a definite end to the strike action by Teachers Trade Unions,
the Prime Minister and Head of the Cameroon government has announced the recruitment
of teachers and the disbursement of funds.
PM YANG PHILEMON AT LEAST I HAVE TRIED. |
A statement from the PM’s office dated November 30

announced the disbursement of the sum of 2 billion FCFA for lay private, nondenominational and professional institutions.

AFU STEPHEN : JUST A TEMPORAL SMILE |
“ All the Trade Unions would be meeting tomorrow (December 2 2016) to make and official
statement. I can quickly say the PM kept his word and one of the important
conditions was the putting in place a commission taking into consideration our
proposals.
The special recruitment to fill in the gap for teachers,
the subvention to lay private and denominational schools are the issues to be
looked into by the ad hoc commission. The strike has not been definitely called off.
The strike may be suspended because work is in progress. But where there is a breach, we would not let go,” the President of the Presbyterian Education Authority Teacher’s Trade Union, Afu Stephen said.
It
remains unclear how soon the ad hoc commission would begin work.

ReplyDeleteWhat happened to outright demand for independence for Southern Cameroon? How long will this piece meal appeasement go on? Grievance for marginalization, brutal response by troops directed from East Cameroon, followed by throwing in bread crumps to gullible Ambazonians and then there's a temporal respite until the next round of abuse by Mr. Biya's government. I don't understand. Someone please help me.
