BOSETU boss says teachers need education

The subscriptions were raised from P22 to P45, which is one percent of the teachers' salaries. Hunyepa explained that the decision to increase the subscription, to match the International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards, came after a resolution taken at the Maun congress last year.

He indicated that all schools were represented by their shop stewards who were to brief all the teachers. "We realised that many of the stewards did not report back the resolutions to the teachers who did not attend. The other schools did not attend completely, and that might be the reason why some of the teachers are saying they were not consulted," Hunyepa said.
