TSM plans to increase remote area allowance

Acting director of TSM, Matlhogonolo Mokakapadi said they took the decision because they are faced with a problem of attracting teachers to work in remote areas.

He said this is despite having the RASA in place. "Teachers are still reluctant to take up posts there (remote areas) and we have made submissions for transfer policy in terms of incentives," he said. He added that the most affected areas are Okavango, Chobe, Satau, Gantsi and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
