We can talk of FPE but maybe from Class One to Class Eight they only have two teachers. Parents are forced to pay for additional teachers through Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs). How then are we claiming that these schools are free and yet we are paying for the teachers who are supposed to have been paid by the Government? We want to urge the Government to consider what used to happen before in the 1970s and early 1980s where we had untrained teachers who were paid by the Government. What happened along the way? If the Government cannot train enough teachers, we have teachers who are either trained or untrained but have not been recruited by the Government. The Government should supplement those teachers.
