What you need to know:

  • The number of sacked teachers was not immediately established.
  • Last month, the commission issued ‘show cause’ letters to 7,357 teachers on the controversial ‘internship’ programme.

Thousands of Junior School teachers on contract who were on the just concluded strike, have been sacked, two days after they ended their go-slow. 

According to copies of the termination letters issued to the teachers on Monday, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) cited professional misconduct as the reason for the young tutors' termination.
