Petra High Fires 12 Govt Registered Teachers
Published: 2016 March 06 08:51:50 (5917 Views)
PETRA High School in Bulawayo has terminated employment contracts for 12 Government-registered teachers, replacing them with "volunteers".
Authorities at Petra have terminated contracts for 12 teachers, leaving contracts for 15 other Government registered teachers running.
Affected teachers who spoke to Sunday News on condition of anonymity said school authorities forced them to sign forms for redeployment to Government.
Sources revealed that financial constraints were cited as one of the reasons the school terminating the teachers' contracts.
Petra Schools Board of Governors chairperson Mr Ian Conolly said the decision to terminate contracts for the 12 teachers was in line with the Government circular recalling Government teachers from trust and private schools.
Mr Conolly, however, did not explain the discretion the board used in selecting 12 teachers out of a complement of 27 Government-registered teachers at the school.
Bulawayo PED Mr Moyo could not be drawn to comment on whether the move by Petra was above board.
