Education Minister Priya Manickchand has denied claims made in two WhatsApp voice notes that the Government will be cutting salaries paid to teachers and janitorial staff.
In a post on Facebook, Manickchand said: “We value our teachers and cherish the cleaners who keep our teachers and children in clean environments.”
She said the voice notes repeat views put forward by former Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence and Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) during the election campaign.
“I invite you to ignore and rubbish it. The PPP/C Government remains committed to delivering education equitably in safe spaces and to ensuring our teachers are adequately compensated,” Manickchand stated.
