BOSETU warns teachers against marking exams

The Chief Executive Secretary of BOSETU, Justin Hunyepa, is reacting to adverts posted recently in newspapers inviting teachers to apply for the post of Junior Certificate Examinations Examiner.  Hunyepa says the old dispensation no longer prevails because the Teaching Service Act has been amended and that the new dispensation places teachers under DPSM and teacher unions will have to engage DPSM for a provision to be made for teachers to render marking services to BEC.

"Any contract with BEC, made without the blessing of DPSM, could result in summary dismissal, Hunyepa warns. Accordingly, teachers are advised not to respond to the recent BEC advertisements and to ignore application forms for the post sent to schools."
