As teachers took to the streets on day nine of what they say will soon become an indefinite strike, Vice President (VP) Bharrat Jagdeo has said that the Ministry of Education (MoE) may have to explore online methods to ensure that students are provided with tuition.
During a press conference at Freedom House, the General Secretary of the PPP and VP evaded the question of meeting with the Guyana Teachers’ Union to discuss teachers’ wages.
Referencing the period during COVID-19 when online teaching was the order of the day, Jagdeo stated that most teachers did not teach during that period, and they were still paid.
