Teachers to be paid by month end

The Levels of Operation payment was introduced to do away with the disparity of progression and scaling of posts at different levels in the teaching service.  Also it was meant to harmonise with the rest of the public sector. The exercise started in July, though in some quarters teachers have been anxiously waiting for their share.

Public relations officer at the Education Ministry, Silas Sehularo, said the delay in payment of all the eligible teachers was a result of discrepancies in payroll details of the officers. In addition, some officers were promoted while the implementation was in progress, which led to the payroll system receiving contradictory instructions.
