He said “Since the resumption of duty in 2018, the said teachers have not been paid any amount stipulated in their letters of appointment.
“Some of the teachers have even been redeployed and having served for a while in their new posts and still have not been paid any salary or entitlements for the past three and half years.
“Despite several efforts and written letters to the appropriate authorities to appeal their predicament, the teachers have been consistently ignored to date.
