Letter to Ministry of Education, Sport and Culture on non-payment of school fees for teachers' children

Dear Sir

RE: NON-PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEES FOR TEACHERS’ CHILDREN

We would like to place it on record that teachers are extremely disappointed by the recent salary awards by government. As a result our members have resolved that in order for them to make ends meet they wish to be exempted from the payment of school fees for their children at government schools with effect from the 1st term of 2006.

Please note that we are already implementing this resolution and urge you to inform headmasters of government schools not to expel teachers’ children for failing to pay school fees. We would be grateful if you could assist in this matter and look forward to meeting you to iron out modalities of this resolution.

Thanking you in advance.

Sincerely

Raymond Majongwe
General Secretary
