Teachers Aim to Improve on Teaching, Learning Process at Schools in CRR

This was first of its kind, for 9 clusters to organise such a meeting in the region which comprised of 11 schools.

Speaking at the gathering, the president of The Gambia Teachers Union (GTU) Mr Lamin K. Marong, thanked  the teachers for their cooperation they had in their various schools.

MrMarong said, “Teaching is a noble job. The profession is a big title once you are called a teacher. The GTU will defend teachers at all cost, but once you are involved in any criminal matter, you are a criminal; and if you are guilty, the GTU will have very little to defend you.” 

The Deputy Secretary at the GTU, Essa Sowe, said teachers in the region were  to make sure to  do their job in order to promote teaching and learning process at schools.

He said the importance of teachers at the schools could not be over emphasized, because of its importance as  role models in every society.

The Principal Education Officer of GTU, Alpha Camara, highlighted the importance of data keeping in schools. He said reliable data in schools was evidence on which policies are built.
