Teachers In Somaliland Complain About Work Without Pay
Hargeisa (Somaliland Globe) — Dozens of Somaliland teachers demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Education in Hargeisa, complaining about the lack of payment.
The teachers say they had not been paid any salary for the last three months.
A spokesperson for the teachers said a small allowance raised from parents of the students is largely divided between the ministry and the head-teachers of the schools. He added that the teachers only receive a token amount of that money.
The teachers, who teach at schools in all levels up to the high school, say after several months of no payment they were left with no other options but to demonstrate in front of the ministry.
Today’s demonstration comes hot on the heels of reports of government receiving a new patch of printed money. Eye-witnesses say four containers containing the newly printed Somaliland shilling arrived at Berbera port this week and were swiftly hauled to Hargeisa.
