Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has confirmed the permanent appointments of 125 teachers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far for the year 2025, we have confirmed 125 teachers permanently, and there are still several requests before the public service commission for consideration,\u201d Skerrit revealed during a recent press conference. delay as ‘unfait’<\/p>\n
\u201cI think where the public officers and public service commission need to pay attention to is the time it takes for a letter to get to the employee. It takes too long.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cSomeone came to me and inquired about their appointment, and when I checked, a decision had been taken for that person\u2019s appointment in April\u2026and I think that, that\u2019s a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister argued that at least a word should be sent out to inform the teacher about the decision made.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we need to improve our communication\u2026,\u201d he remarked. \u201cWe need to work on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he revealed that apart from the group of 125, more teachers will receive permanent appointments.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Skerrit said his government is concerned about public officers being in acting\/temporary positions for too long.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of giving somebody six months, six months, six months\u2026for 8 years or 5 \u00a0years is not fair,\u201d he remarked. \u201cAnd it almost borders on an injustice where that position is vacant.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to state that sometimes, there are challenges where people are on study leave or seconded \u201cso this is why cabinet has deliberated on this matter and taken a very clear position on the secondment issue. There must be a limit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defined as being assigned to work in a different department for a certain period of time, Skerrit explained: \u201cSometimes you cut somebody\u2019s secondment and the person believes that you have an issue with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you cannot appoint people below who are acting if that person continues to be seconded in a senior position.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skerrit added, \u201cSo the secondment affects the permanent appointment of many people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has confirmed the permanent appointments of 125 teachers. \u201cSo far for the year 2025, we have confirmed 125 teachers permanently, and there are still several requests before the public service commission for consideration,\u201d Skerrit revealed during…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":350050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,235],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-350049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-educationyouth","category-homepage-carousel"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
