Gambia: The Gambia Teachers' Union Celebrates 76th Anniversary

The GTU celebrated its 76th anniversary on the 16th February, 2013 at the Paradise Suites Hotel. Mr. Baboucarr O. Joof, the General Manager of the GTU and the moderator of the ceremony in his opening remarks, welcomed the guests and hinted on the history of the Union by pointing out a couple of the outstanding pioneers and the founding fathers of the Union,

Jane Colley Faye and Edward Francis Small. He said without their dedication the Union would not have been a success. He further asserted that during these 76 years many things have happened and that the Union is built on three key principles, which are "to organise, represent, and advocate" and this is why it was necessary to create it. This representation is fresher now, he informs. He also added that this year's celebration would not be a conspiracy because brawl is no longer the order of the day but partnership. He also said this partnership will define the relationship between the Gambia and Senegal.
