| Teachers from schools across the country will be able to tender appeals over the next two weeks as it relates to a Preliminary Promotion List, which was on Thursday released by the Teaching Service Commission (TSC).The preliminary list, which is on display at the Commission’s Brickdam office, identifies teachers who are likely to fill the 801 vacant positions that were earlier this year advertised by the TSC.Among the positions to be filled are those of Head Teachers, Heads of Departments,Retro Jordans For Sale Australia, Senior Masters and Senior Mistresses.However, based on the appeals,China Football Jerseys Cheap, it is possible that some changes could be made to the preliminary list,Authentic NCAA Jerseys Cheap, according to Chairman of the Commission, Mrs Leila Ramson. She said that copies of the list will be sent to all Departments of Education in all Regions. Teachers in Georgetown can however visit the Commission’s office for a glimpse as well.Some teachers scrutinising the preliminary list Ramson,Nike Air Max 90 Baratas Espa?a, during an interview with this newspaper revealed that often teachers become frustrated when they do not see their names on the list,China NFL Hoodies, thus the need for the appeal process.“Sometimes teachers say that there is favouritism within the TSC but this is not the case. There are times when they get annoyed and quarrel. So it is for this very reason they are allowed to appeal,Mens Air Jordan 1 Retro High Strap Black Red 3421XXXII-061,” Ramson added.As part of the process, teachers are able to appeal to the Secretary of the Commission if they do not see their names on the list and are of the belief that they should have more points, thus are more suitable for the position.In essence, Ramson noted that the appeal is intended to determine through a review process whether the TSC made a mistake in the point system.“Sometimes teachers train together, go to University together and get their degree, but there are times when some teachers lose points based on the grade they are given by their Head Teacher for their overall performance. And there are times when teachers tie and we have to establish who became senior first in order to decide who gets the promotion.”And according to Ramson, the Commission will in about four weeks time be ready to commence the review process, which will entail perusing teachers’ files and application “with a fine teeth comb.”And should there be any discrepancies detected indicating that another teacher has more points for a particular position, Ramson asserted that the position will be withdrawn from the formerly identified teacher.“This has happened in the past and we admitted we made a mistake and promoted the teacher that had the most points.”Following the review, a final list will be made available, confirming the names of the teachers to be promoted.According to Ramson,Cheap Jerseys From China, advertisements for the teaching positions in public schools were initially delayed for almost two weeks because of unwarranted commotions from the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU).President of the union, Colwyn King had revealed to media operatives that the union has been bombarded by complaints of teachers within the public education system who have on several occasions applied for positions and have been turned down because of personal and political affiliations.But according to Ramson, King’s disclosure is completely inaccurate and has no place in the TSC.“We don’t know the teachers that we are appointing. It has nothing to do with the individuals. All we deal with are their records and not their personal or political affiliations.”The TSC Chairman noted that the promotion and appointment of teachers have always been transparent, even as she pointed to the fact that such undertakings are engaged by a panel of Commissioners and not by a single individual.The panel comprises of Ramson, Deputy Chairman, Mohamed Khan, four Commissioners and Chief Education Officer, Genevieve Whyte-Nedd. |
