MORETA ZAMBIA DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OFFICIALS BEHIND IRREGULAR TEACHER TRANSFERS

The Movement for Restoration of Teachers Affairs in Zambia -MORETA has called on Government to hold education officials who authorised irregular teacher transfers accountable before taking action against teachers being returned to rural schools.

MORETA Zambia Executive Director, Dr Samuel Mbumba, says the organisation supports the Copperbelt Provincial Minister’s pronouncement on returning teachers who were irregularly transferred from rural schools to urban areas.

Dr. Mbumba says Government should first audit transfer letters and identify Provincial Education Officers, District Education Board Secretaries and Human Resource Officers who approved the transfers in disregard of the Ministry of Education’s four-year service directive.
