“I don’t think it would be feasible to review thousands of applications,” said Chairperson of the Teaching Service Commission (TSC), Ms. Leila Ramson, when asked to comment on the status of a court action brought against the body by the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) regarding the promotion of public school teachers.TSC Chairperson,Leila RamsonThe GTU had taken the decision to file an injunction to halt the release of the final 2015 teachers’ promotion list by both the TSC and the School Boards Secretariat,NFL Jerseys From China, which falls under the purview of the Ministry of Education.GTU, which premised its decision on concerns that the promoting bodies have for years been deviating from written rules and regulations that govern teachers’ promotions, is calling for a complete review of the applications this year.However, while the Ministry of Education has surrendered to the demands of the GTU even without a ruling from the court, the TSC has been unrelenting thus far.Ramson, who is currently overseas, told this publication by way of telephone yesterday that the TSC is prepared to head to the courts next week Wednesday, December 9, when the matter is slated to be heard again. But according to her, the TSC Commissioners are slated to meet on a date ahead of the court hearing to plan the way forward.Ramson nevertheless shared her conviction that, “I doubt we will change our minds about a review…it is easy for the Ministry to change its mind, because the Ministry only has to process a few applications. We (TSC) deal with 4,000 to 5,000 applications per year, so it is not easy to just have a do-over…it is a lot of work you are talking about here.”According to Ramson, the TSC had made the proposal to take into consideration the concerns of the GTU when it undertakes the processing of applications for teachers’ promotions.But the unwillingness of the TSC to permit a review of the 2015 applications is being viewed as disappointing by GTU President, Mark Lyte. He nevertheless expressed optimism that the TSC will move with urgency to change its stance on the promotion matter.He however noted that “we are happy that the School Boards Secretariat has changed its view on the matter, and we are hoping that they can work assiduously to have those teachers who are due promotions, be promoted in the Easter Term. We are hoping that the same would be done by the TSC; they are still holding out.”Lyte explained that while teachers are supposed to be promoted on a “points basis”, there were comments that were taken into consideration that could have served to deny or allow some teachers’ promotions.GTU,cheap jerseys from china, he added,Cheap Arizona Cardinals Hoodies, is convinced that the promotion process has been fraught with subjectivity on the part of the majority of TSC Commissioners.“They (TSC) are aware that they are in breach of the rules,” he added, even as he lamented Ramson’s decision to take the GTU’s concerns into consideration until next year.“They have been unfair to the teachers. To say that is what you have been doing over the years does not make it right; maybe over the years we have never been told what was happening,” the GTU President emphasised.The GTU usually has a nominee who functions as a TSC Commissioner. According to Lyte, while the GTU nominee might not have objected in the past to the TSC’s process of promotion,NFL Jerseys Supply, “Our nominee for this period did object to what TSC was doing,Cheap Jerseys China, but the objections were not heeded.”“Teachers have become so accustomed to how they are treated by TSC that they never challenge (it) even though they know that they were senior to somebody who got a promotion…TSC has never been inclined to make any changes. As a matter of fact, if 40 people object, they only make one or two changes. We are not in agreement with the TSC’s deviation from the rules now that we are aware of what is going on, and we have taken a stance to deal with this matter once and for all,Cheap Jerseys USA,” Lyte asserted.Lyte is convinced that had the TSC taken the time to review the applications and redo its promotion list, the process could have taken less than two months and could have already been completed.“We were not asking for fresh applications, we were asking for a review to ensure that teachers were not disenfranchised based on comments made by officials within their respective regions,” Lyte said.The TSC in a statement had however said that it views the Union’s demands for a review of all applications as an unnecessary task, which seeks to question the integrity and autonomy of a constitutional body that is sworn to the impartial discharge of its mandate.
