Single Salary Table: Minister requests teachers in Mozambique to remain calm

Carmelita Namashulua, the Minister of Education and Human Development (MINEDH), urged teachers to maintain their composure on Monday, saying that the Government is taking all necessary steps to address any inconsistencies that may exist in the Single Salary Table's implementation (TSU).

The official's statements come after certain teachers from some schools in the province and city of Maputo suspended their activities because they were disgruntled with the Single Salary Table's inconsistencies.

Namashulua asserts that the Ministry of State Administration and Civil Service, along with the Ministry of Economy and Finance, formed a technical team that is working actively in coordination with the Ministry of Education and Human Development to address all concerns and fix any issues that may arise during the implementation process.

"We will meet with the union once more today (monday) to discuss these issues so that the government can follow up appropriately. We urge our teachers to keep up the good work and to fully prepare our schoolchildren for the exams that will be conducted in November. If there is an issue with the salaries that we send to the appropriate institutions, we have our unions and the provincial directorates, she added, so that the government can make the required fixes.

The Minister further emphasizes the need of being calm because this is an ongoing process, and the Government will fix any inconsistencies that may develop as the TSU is implemented.
