Over 2000 teachers live below their means

Government recommends that married public service employees take home P1, 500 while those single should have a minimum of P1, 300 as their net income.  The minimum take home income is not done in accordance with salary scales but across board.

Speaking at the Botswana Sector of Educators’ Trade Union (BOSETU) elective congress in Palapye this week, the Deputy Permanent Secretary Corporate Services at the ministry, Nosang Mhutsiwa said that teachers who go home with less than the recommended amount have high chances of performing poorly at work.
