Teacher Development Officers to Withdraw from Academic Activities
The All-Island School Teacher Development Officers' Association has announced that its members will withdraw from academic activities starting next Monday, October 27.
According to the Association's Secretary, Viraj Manaranga, Teacher Development Officers have been excluded from the current education reform proposals' teacher training programs, despite having served as teachers for over six years.
They have not received an invitation this time, although they were included in previous teacher training programs.
Manaranga expressed disappointment that dedicated officers who have contributed significantly to the achievements of school children have been neglected.
The decision to withdraw from academic activities is a response to this perceived neglect.
