1,653 teachers promoted as heads of institutions

Decision subject to Supreme Court’s final judgment

The General Education Department has temporarily promoted 1,653 primary teachers as heads of institutions.

The promotion that has been caught in a legal tangle will be subject to the Supreme Court’s final judgment. The decision has been taken following the Advocate General’s legal opinion. With schools reopening after more than a year-and-a-half in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the department was keen on avoiding any hurdles in connection with their functioning, and decided to go ahead with the promotion.
