Salary Alignment: Primary School Teachers at the Streets in March

They are 5,500 teachers to show their discontent because their salary was not aligned with that of their colleague secondary. Only 1,000 of them have benefited from this alignment. Other, they will have to wait a Anomalies Report is published . Feeling frustrated and injured, they decided to take to the streets on 1 st March. They have already sent a letter to Police Commissioner in this regard.

Through this event, they hope, on the one hand, the public will be aware of " injustice "they suffered. On the other hand, they want to respond to the authorities that the anomalies Report is published.

Seegum Vinod, president of Government Teachers Union (GTU), said he expected that " from 2000 to 3000 teachers join this demonstration of force, as was the case in 2012, after the publication of the report of the Pay Research Bureau ". Several unions should meet present at this event. The include the Mauritius Head Teachers Association , the Government Hindi Teachers Union , the Tamil Teachers Union , the Deputy Head Teachers Union or the Early Childhood Teachers Union . " We will start our walk at the social center Mary Queen of Peace, before moving to St George and The Causeway to join the Company Gardens , "says the president of the GTU.

In fact, the Dev Manraj report should resolve, recommending that these salaries are aligned with those of secondary teachers. Except Dev Manraj used the term Educators to speak of primary teachers. Is is then followed by confusion about the name. For those employed before 2008 are called Teachers / Senior Teachers , while those employees are called after Educators by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
