BACK TO SCHOOL KOLWEZI: PARTNERS IN EDUCATION ODDS.
Back to school in Kolwezi has not been effective this Monday, September 6, 2010. teachers and Kolwezi District Lualaba have not yet been paid for the months of July and August. Under paragraph 8 of the MoU sanctioning, August 20, 2010, after negotiations between the Government and the Inter-Faculty of Congo, the Synergy Unions Kolwezi teachers asked "comrade teachers" not to resume the journey to school the scheduled day of school. Point 8, in effect, stipulates that the Government undertook to make payment of salaries for the months of July and August before September 6 to ensure a calmer school year.
The paradox is that the Government seems to have kept his word: salaries of teachers have been transferred to the usual account of TMB Bank. But it said missing cash and has been for some days. What irks teachers that TMB / Kolwezi repeats the same refrain every month focusing instead pays Mining Enterprises.
The confusion lies in the application of paragraph 8: therefore many observers are wondering, which is directed against this strike? Against Government? Against parents who nevertheless have already paid the famous FIP? Against the school authorities of Katanga Province educational IV? Against the City of Kolwezi TMB Bank or cons? The quarrel seems size: nervousness parents is palpable. Civil authorities and school involved somehow to bring back "the right" teachers. They do not want to be convinced that by a single argument: the money in July and August no matter how guilty they are familiar actor, TMB.
wake up, this Monday, September 6, 2010 the blue and white reappeared on the sidewalk. At school, where they arrived, they simply do not understand what was happening. Some teachers still present in some schools dared not pronounce the word traitor to strike at these innocent children.
The Inter Kolwezi held its meeting this afternoon: "Teachers will be well and truly in the schools tomorrow, Tuesday 07, but they remain inactive . This is the statement we received from spokesman. In addition, the Unionists ask to be escorted to the City Council and, if necessary, TMB Bank by the Head of Division of EPSP Katanga IV and other managers (Assistant Proved and Coordinators of Schools). Why? A series that has not yet said its last word.
