Primary School Senior Teachers Demand Backpay

The case before Justice Nthomiwa in Lobatse, launched by BOSETU and BTU seeks to correct the embarrassment the senior teachers have suffered after the introduction of the LOO which resulted in supervisors being overtaken by their juniors, while in some instances, their juniors with no responsibilities raked in equal salaries as their supervisors, something that the supervisors argue is unfair.

Related to this quagmire, the supervisors at primary schools found themselves pitched at salary scale C1 when the LOO was introduced, while their counterpart at secondary schools were pitched at D4.
