-talks to be held with ministry on promotions
President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU), Mark Lyte yesterday addressed the public via a live stream on Facebook where he discussed key issues regarding the country’s education system and defended the recently signed agreement between the GTU and the Ministry of Education.
Lyte has come under relentless attack after agreeing to a deal that was far removed from the original GTU demands and yesterday there were caustic comments as he made his presentation.
Lyte highlighted that under his leadership, the union successfully negotiated salary increases in the double digits. He urged teachers to honour their commitments as outlined in the agreement, while pledging to ensure the union’s continued support for the educational workforce during the remainder of his presidency.
