The United Teachers Movement accuses the Government of ignoring its concerns related to the implementation of the Single Salary Table and threatens to boycott exams that start next Monday (14). The group that brings together primary and secondary school teachers says that the Government is not listening to them regarding concerns related to the Single Salary Table (TSU). “As they did with the Medical Association of Mozambique and the Mozambican Association of Judges, we want them to also open space to listen to us. One of the demands that I refer again is that the teacher N1 start from level 16, as previously agreed and that the other subsidies we have lost are replaced”, said Avatar Cuamba, representative of United Teachers. According to the Jornal O País, the group threatens to boycott the exams that start next Monday, if the Executive does not give a satisfactory answer. “We will have to opt for the suspension of exams if the Government does not open space for dialogue. The teacher is one of the bases of society, he sometimes teaches in deplorable conditions and no one looks this way. The teacher consumes chalk every day and has no periodic medical assistance,” said Avatar Cuamba, representative of United Teachers. The Movement also accuses the National Teachers’ Organization of not defending the interests of the class it represents. “A representative of the organization had to be here to prove that he cares about the dissatisfactions of teachers. If we are organized here, it is because that organization is not representing us. Nobody runs away from a good father. We challenge the Secretary General to leave the office and be in that square”, reiterated Avatar Cuamba. The United Teachers Movement advances even though it has already submitted several letters to the Government and the National Organization of Teachers, but none of the parties reacted.
