When you see what the teacher's are asking for- very very reasonable, and then you hear what the real president Jagdeo is say- very very dumb indeed.


But speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said if the government agreed with the GTU’s salary increases, that would mean that a graduate teacher would earn GUY$500,000 or an unqualified teacher’s salary would be about GUY$200,000.

He suggested that would create a huge disparity in salaries for teachers, police, sugar workers and private and public sector workers who have five Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) subjects.



He is talking up online, when the developed world are now finding out the hard way that online is not a substitute for traditional class room.

Nah to education

The Guyana government has hinted at the possibility of providing online learning for students affected by an indefinite nationwide strike by teachers, insisting also that it would not bow to demands by their union for salary increases.


Only people power can defeat the government, but will the people use their power?
