The Professional Teachers Union of Zambia (PROTUZ) has challenged government to tell the nation teachers with certificate qualifications have been left out in the current recruitment of 5, 000 teachers.
PROTUZ Secretary General Albert Muyembe has told QFM News in an interview that the teacher union is disappointed with the move by government to leave out teachers with certificate qualifications.
Mr. Muyembe notes that while the union is fully aware that government wants to phase out certificate qualifications for teachers, the process should be gradual.
He states that most teachers in the country have certificate qualifications as compared to those with diploma and degree qualifications.
Meanwhile the teacher union has praised government for decentralizing the teacher recruitment process saying this will promote transparency in the recruitment process.
He hopes that those conducting the recruitment exercise will ensure they adhere to transparency by recruiting deserving and qualified teachers without engaging in corruption.
