After being ordered by the High Court to review “all applications for promotions in the Teaching Service afresh for the year 2015,” the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) has decided on “humanitarian grounds” to comply with the order rather than appeal the decision.
In a communication to Stabroek News, TSC Chairman Leila Ramson said that though three Senior Counsel strongly advised that they “appeal the said Court Order,” the commission decided at its monthly Statutory Meeting, held yesterday, to review the 2015/2016 Senior Promotion List for School Administrators in the new school term.
“The TSC which is a Constitutional and Autonomous body has been strongly advised by three Senior Counsel to appeal the said Court Order, however, since the pursuance of said appeal would result in a long and time-consuming process, TSC has decided not to do so, on humanitarian grounds,” Ramson explained.
