Grand Bassa county Electoral District #3 Representative, Jay Byron Browne is alarmed that several public school teachers in the county are not on the payroll of government and has accordingly written the Minister of Education on the issue.
In his communication, he called on the authorities of the MiOE to urgently study the situation and do something about the plight of the teachers who are giving their best to the county and the entire nation.
He said placing those teachers on payroll will circumvent corruption and other negative vices that could undermine the quality education in the county.
In his letter addressed to Minister Joseph Korto, he highlighted two categories of teachers who according to him were contributing positively to the county's human resource development .
Rep. Browne said hose who have not been placed on government payroll and those that were dropped from the payroll of government.
He told Minister Korto that such tendency is tantamount to voluntary slavery, he noted disregards the human resource capacity of the individual persons and a direct mockery to President Sirleaf's Free Education Program.
Rep. Browne lauded government free primary school program but in the same vain expressed apprehension about the quality of such program owing to the lack of job security for those imparting knowledge.
He is recommending to authorities of the Ministry of Education to coordinate with the county and District Education officers in Bassa in identifying the teachers thereby bringing their plight to an end. Rep. Browne is representing Liberty Party in the 52nd National Legislature.
