Wiseman Ekamba Ntui Begging The Minister To Step In.
The Minister of Basic Education Laurent Serge Etoundi Ngoa, has been called to be the savior of teachers of private schools who are in pains, agony and maltreated as well as down trodden by the proprietors or founders of institutions in Cameroon. Ekamba Ntui, a teacher regrets the fact that proprietors and proprietresses have taken advantage of the Anglophone crisis to augment fees while cutting down the salaries of teachers who received payments without any pay slips.
He frowns at the fact that, teachers are scape goats with the advent of Corona Virus as about 85% of them went without salaries or food thanks to the selfishness of the founders who collected the school fees from parents but denied the teachers the right to wages. The inhuman treatment dished out to qualified teachers by the selfish proprietors with the coming of COVID-19 has killed the spirit of professionalism and resilience in them.
Wiseman Ekamba Ntui, a veteran teacher who has been an exploitation victim from proprietors in his write up titled “The infection affecting the Omegas” called on his colleagues of the teaching field not to give way to adventurers to invade the terrain. “We are people of noble profession and God knows why even amongst the gifts of the Holy Spirit you have a teacher. With the economic situation of the country, some smart money making monsters called proprietors, proprietresses or call them founders have invaded the fertile ground for their smart deals. A school without a teacher is like a stagnant water that will one day start stinking.”
To him, proprietors have been caught into their own web of dishonesty as they go around begging teachers to come to their schools and teach. Unfortunately for them, their selfishness turned to the good of the teachers who are now engaged in other business to make a living.
