Regional Education Officer (REdO) of Region One (Barima-Waini) Chiveon Bovell-Success has distanced herself from the hiring of several sweeper-cleaners attached to schools within the Moruca Sub-Region after Regional Chairman Brentnol Ashley said proper protocols were not followed.
On Saturday, Stabroek News reported that six head teachers within the Moruca district were ordered to “send home” sweeper-cleaners from their respective schools. The sweeper-cleaners were reportedly not paid for a number of months and were sent home without any information as to when they will be paid.
