Ministry denies salaries of teachers, cleaners to be cut

The Ministry of Education today rebuffed reports that the salaries of teachers and cleaners are to be cut.

A statement from the ministry follows:

 

It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Education that misinformation is being peddled in the public domain that there is an intention to cut the salaries of teachers and cleaners.

The Ministry of Education wishes to advise the general public that this is completely false. Any discussion regarding the salaries of teachers and cleaners will be towards the enhancement of their remuneration and not the opposite.

The Ministry encourages all to dedicate themselves towards the development and safety of our children and teachers during this pandemic and to refrain from causing confusion in any way.
