Right after the Christmas Break, we showed you how majority of the teachers and stayed home stayed home for that extra week even though the Ministry and the School Managements countrywide tried to open school to get those 4 additional make up days because of the teachers strike. As we told you, the Ministry had their say, but the teachers had their way.
Well, the BNTU is now contemplating how they will make up the days lost in the teachers strike of October.
10 Days ago, the Belize Branch of the BNTU sent this letter to the Managing Authorities of the schools, which says,
"BNTU has consistently indicated that teachers and our membership stand ready to execute, effective make-up time; for the school-contact-time, lost during the strike period...we hereby request of each school; to provide us with FULL details of: how it is that you have made up, are making up, or intend to make up the lost time. Please ensure however, that this process has emerged out of consensus among ALL parties involved: teachers, administration and managements." End Quote.
The Union is asking its members to provide copies of any plan which their school comes up with, along with the relevant details. The Union is expecting to see these copies by tomorrow.
