This offer to teachers is way off mark

Dear Editor, 

The counter offer for the teachers’ pay hike in the ongoing negotiations for 2024 it is posited is seven percent.  This is a point five percent over the 2023 across-the-board public servants’ salaries increases.

With the rising cost of living levels, this offer is way off mark and unrealistic.

The government must make a better offer for the multi-year proposal under consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
