MOROBE education department conducted a teachers’ position audit after a good number of teachers in the province were on auto suspension. Provincial education adviser Keith Tangui told The National that many teachers were affected when the automatic payroll suspension came on. Tangui said the provincial appointment and salary offices were currently auditing the teachers’ positions to help those who were on auto suspension. “Go through the process to be on the safe side,” he said. “Any teachers that have been put in a position without the notice of the provincial programme adviser and the appointment officer, those teachers will get suspended or put off the payroll. “Those teachers who have been appointed by the provincial education board (PEB) are safe because they are on the Alesco payroll. “The district education managers and inspectors are to inform the PEB and the appointment officer regarding a vacant position and not for them to push a teacher into that position because that’s where the confusion occurs,” he said.
Tangui outlined that the audit was to check and screen the education system to make sure that there were no clashes in positions, payrolls and teachers. “The audit is very important, so we can get one person, one position, and one pay,” he explained. “When we have the right number of teachers, then we will work with the Teaching Service Commission in order to create new positions. “We will abolish positions and create new ones, which will also cater for the new schools that are coming.” Meanwhile, about 8,000 teaching positions were in the province, of which about 6,000 were occupied, while about 2,000 were vacant, and considering the number of teaching positions in the province, Tangui said the audit would end in mid-July.
