*Rural Teachers Speak On Way Forward After Vic Falls 'Betrayal' {Full Text}* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pj > When the government and its yellow Unions announced their grand Victoria Falls excursion, some civil servants were hopeful that the salary crisis could be resolved in the resort town. > It is now clear to everyone that beyond the boat cruises and all-night parties by the negotiators no solution was carved out. We have consulted far and wide post this great betrayal of our time to find a way forward. > 1. The struggle for interbank rate indexed salaries has to be escalated to turn the heat on the arrogant selfish employer. > 2. We will be reporting for duty once every fortnight in protest against underpayment. > 3. We will conduct a series of labour forums and teacher parents’ interface meetings countrywide. > 4. Our anger will be registered on the streets with more frequency. > We note with disgust that some among us in our noble profession has turned to demand money from suffering parents to cushion themselves. > It is our principled position that parents have already contributed to our salaries by paying different forms of tax. We should just confront our employer demanding fair compensation. > Access to education for the poor and vulnerable becomes a nightmare if teachers are allowed to sell education to affording learners. > We call upon teachers and parents engaged in these acts to reconsider their actions and join us in fighting for a more sustainable model for public education. > The government of President Emmerson Mnangagwa is reminded of its mandate of providing education to the people of Zimbabwe. Paying a living wage for teachers is one sure way of guaranteeing inclusive access to education. > This February, month of love, we will demonstrate our love for our profession and nation through protest. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
