Secondly, most of them will use the TERMINATION LETTERS to apply for their pension deducted some years back to keep them surviving until they find a new job. I hope the letters will remove the STRESS, DEPRESSION AND TRAUMA that these teacher's are going through this Christmas holidays having in mind that come 2011 they have no jobs.
Best regards.
We Temporary teachers in EC are facing a crisis. And the department's various branches, especially rural district offices are under confusion. We were told that we are going to be terminated by the 31st of December 2010 and will reinstate after January 2011. In this connection we are not notified by anything that we are going to be terminated. However, when communicated with Chief directorate HRA in bisho confirms that Only those temporary teachers who are joined after 19th November 2009 are going to be terminated and others, that is who in service before 19 nov 2009 will have an open ended appointment. But this information has not reached the rural district offices and there by the people are going to be suffering with the termination. It is going to affect temporary teachers who are serving the department over 2 to 3 years.
It would have been much appreciated if the department could do something now and instruct the district headquarters accordingly to avoid the problems.
We are looking forward for a speedy and dynamic action from such a dynamic Superintendant General.
Thanking You in advance.
