The newly sworn-in members of the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Guyana’s education system. President Dr. Irfaan Ali emphasized the importance of trust in institutions that govern teachers and highlighted the Commission’s critical mandate.
The TSC holds a wide-ranging constitutional mandate that impacts teachers, students, and the education system as a whole. The President stressed that the Commission’s independence is essential to protecting the profession from undue influence and ensuring decisions are made based on merit, fairness, and due process.
As part of its efforts to transform the education sector, the government has embarked on an extensive investment in education. This includes improvements in teachers’ welfare, working conditions, and opportunities for professional growth. The President revealed that thousands of senior positions are being filled or newly created to support upward mobility within the profession.
These new posts include second deputy head teachers, deputy head teachers, and additional senior master and mistress positions across the education system. This expansion will allow more teachers to be promoted, leading to improved salaries, additional benefits, and stronger retirement outcomes for educators nationwide.
