NEW AMSTERDAM, BERBICE – Chairman of the Region Six Education Committee David Armogan says that too many instructional hours are lost as result of teachers attending the University of Guyana.His calculation shows that students lose approximately 61,000 instructional hours each year when teachers go to the university during school hours.In the cases of those who secured release from the Ministry of Education, head teachers are expected to make alternative arrangements but in many instances nothing is done. According to him, the programmes done by some teachers require attendance at the university at least three days per week. There are times when these teachers use instructional hours to prepare for their university classes or complete their assignments thus contributing to lost teaching hours.He explained that the question of release for teachers is sole responsibility of the Central Ministry. When this is granted, it is with the assumption that the curriculum would be covered by substitute teachers.According to Mr. Armogan, there are at least 25 teachers in Region Six now attending the University of Guyana who were not granted the official release. They have either taken leave or just go as absent on the necessary days. In this situation, their pay cheques are cut.A source from the Department of Education, who requested anonymity, said there are 189 teachers from nursery,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, primary and secondary schools in Region Six attending the University of Guyana. The Region has 1384 teachers. The Spokesperson acknowledged that when teachers are at the university, the students are left without adequate instruction. In some instances classes are combined. “It is depleting the instructional hours and it is affecting the curriculum delivery in Region Six. It has been so for the past ten years.”The Education Official said that based on the policy, the head teacher must take responsibility for the students. Last Tuesday,Soccer Jerseys Cheap, Principal Personnel Officer Shelton Daniels,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, Region Six Education Officer Shafiran Bhajan, Mr. Armogan, a representative of the University of Guyana and also member of the Region Six Education Committee, Regional Vice-Chairman of the Guyana Teachers’ Union among others met to examine the issue of teachers.The Official acknowledged there are some teachers who are not eligible to attend the University of Guyana and are doing so without release. The policy states that at any grade ‘A’ school only four teachers are allowed to attend the University of Guyana at one time. For grade ‘B’ institutions, the figure is three, grade ‘C’ – two and grade ‘D’ – one.However, some teachers still break the rule. There are those who do not even apply for permission and yet still attend the university during school hours. The Official believes that the old system where classes at the university were held outside school hours may be the only possible solution for now.When contacted Regional Education Officer Shafiran Bhajan said the situation is being addressed.Meanwhile, Mr. Armogan is of the view that the poor performance of students at low grade schools is affecting the overall results of Region Six.He explained that candidates at about 35 percent of secondary schools in East Berbice/Corentyne got less than 40 percent passes at this year Caribbean Secondary Examination Council (CSEC) examinations. “These schools made the region look bad overall. They are not performing.”To arrest this situation the Regional Education Committee is targeting the low grade schools. More focus is now placed on them and regular checks are made on the schools and their curriculum. In some instances teachers at low grade school are present but do not go to the classroom hence the lesson is not taught.He said head teachers generally are responsible for the performance. “It means they are not supervising properly. Weak schools have weak head teachers.”Mr. Armogan cited one of these institutions, the Central Corentyne High School formerly known as Bush Lot Secondary, which according to him did well in years gone by. Recently, the US Continuing Promise in collaboration with the Regional Administration carried out major rehabilitation work on that school.But the source from the Department of Education stated the teachers are trying their best. Targets are used to boost the performance of students at what is called the low grade schools. Action plans are being implemented to aid in overcoming all weak areas as well. The Central Ministry is also to assist in the training of teachers.The Education Official said generally more emphasis is being placed on these low performing schools using the six-year transition curriculum. This gives the students an extra year before they enter the grade seven
