DEPUTY Education Minister Wictor Sajeni has warned some administrators within the ranks of his ministry who harass and ill-treat teachers, stressing those found would be punished.
Speaking during the graduation of 112 teachers at Chilangoma DAPP Teachers Training College in Blantyre rural, the minister also criticised some old guards within the teaching profession, who he said equally harass new entrants in the fraternity.
“I always hate the attitude of some administrative officials in our system such as District Education Manager's offices, who harass, ill treat and ridicule teachers visiting their offices to seek assistance.
“Please our colleagues (in these offices), please realise that you are in those offices because of teachers, and if you harass them they will have grudges against the system and the end result is that the quality of education in this country will be affected,” Sajeni said.
He applauded DAPP for complimenting government’s efforts in training teachers in this country.
On her part, DAPP Country Director Lisbeth Thomsen said another lot of teachers would graduate at their other new college at Amalika in Thyolo.
