Anambra State Government has categorically stated that no qualified teacher in the state’s school system has been relieved of his/her appointment.
It urged the general public to ignore any mischievous or unfounded publication on the said matter.
A release signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Christian Aburime said that the state government is rather repositioning the education sector according to standard practice and in line with the objectives of the Soludo administration.
According to the release, the idea is to ensure that only those with requisite qualifications, proven capacity and commensurate experiences are recruited into the system and not aimed to witch-hunt anybody or take away anybody’s job as Governor Soludo at all times, meant well for the good people of Anambra State and will stop at nothing in giving them the best, education inclusive.
This came on the wheels of publications on protest by teachers engaged by the Parents Teachers Association, PTA, purportedly converted to permanent staff in Anambra State Schools that were purportedly sacked by the Soludo administration.
The protesters, who barricaded the entrance of the state House of Assembly in Awka displayed placards with various inscriptions, claiming to have been engaged by the state government before the termination of their jobs.
The affected PTA teachers, who were converted to the school system in the last days of the last administration in an irregular, hazy circumstances, were only asked to regularize their employment with the government by taking part in the online teachers’ recruitment test initiated by the state since teachers all over the world are recruited through a serious and systematic pedagogical based process.
The release further stated that the conversion method is rather new to the teaching field and is totally unacceptable in the state.
