BTU bays for education officers' heads

BTU deputy president Pule Ramaabya said at a press conference yesterday that the education officers should be sent packing for 'failure to monitor and appraise the under-performing headmasters'. He said the officers are the ones who should be retired if the director of Teaching Service Management (TSM) is serious about his work.

He stated that the director should re-test the instruments that he used to measure poor performance because some of the targeted headmasters were recipients of awards during Teachers Day celebrations. Others were hailed as good managers and were called upon to become resource persons and share their strategies with colleagues. "What a contradiction it is," said Ramaabya.
