Pay teachers' salaries

Secondary Education Quality and Access Enhancement Project (SEQAEP) is one of the largest safety net projects in the secondary education sector. Under this project, run by the education ministry and funded by the government and World Bank, more than 6,000 graduates from renowned public universities work as additional class teachers. 

However, for the last four months, they haven't received their salaries. It was promised that the tenure of the project would be extended and their jobs would be made permanent, but the reality is very different. I urge the authorities to make sure, at the very least, that their due 

salaries are paid.
