Challenge Australia’s arrogant
statements
I AM an elementary teacher and I am
writing this letter through sheer frustration.
While critics are saying the outcome-based education is a failure,
as a teacher, I totally disagree with that.
But with elementary education, the failure now lies with the
teachers simply because I have taught as an elementary teacher for
eight years and have seen the way teachers have acted towards
their profession in the area that I come from.
Some elementary teachers have “don’t care attitudes” and are
absent for weeks, months or even a year. Yet they are still on the
payroll. I just wonder how this is so.
Some even don’t take orders from their superiors or go to school
without a lesson plan.
Some even have other paid jobs.
It is really a sick system and I strongly urge the education
authorities in Popondetta to look at it seriously as it affects
the elementary education system and the work of other committed
teachers.
Since these problems are chronic and the Government of the day
should restructure the education department once and for all.
Pay all the elementary teachers for their services and send them
back to their villages to plant kaukau. That was where teachers
were taken from.
Then select the few best teachers from each provinces and sent
them for further training to be primary school teachers.
I want all parents throughout the nation to support my view and
push for elementary education to be abolished.
