Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Education Agnes Nyalonje has announced an increase in hardship allowances for all teachers who work in hard to reach schools. She made the announcement yesterday during the Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) 23rd General Congress Meeting in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

Nyalonje said teachers in very hard to reach schools will be getting MK25,000 as their hardship allowance per month and those in semi-hard to reach schools will be getting MK15,000 per month, adding that the allowance will be attached to the school and not individual teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has revised hardship allowances for teachers who work in hard to reach schools. The allowances will be attached to the school and not individual teacher. We want teachers in the remotest schools to enjoy working too,\u201d said Nyalonje.<\/p>\n

On disbursement of salary arrears, she said, as a Minister, she is aware that delays in disbursement of salary arrears is yet another age-old challenge. She said her Ministry is working hard to make this a story of the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Ministry has critically analysed the causes of salary arrears and has put in place measures to ensure that the generation of salary arrears is minimized and what the Ministry owes teachers is expeditiously processed and paid out,\u201d she said. Nyalonje added that currently, her Ministry is facilitating the auditing of secondary school teachers\u2019 arrears which are now ready for payment.<\/p>\n

As for primary teachers\u2019 arrears, she said most councils have finalized working on salary arrears files and what remains is for the councils to call for auditors from the National Audit Office to go into various councils and conduct the audits, after which payments will be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Ministry will work closely with the Ministry of Local Government to ensure that the auditing activity is budgeted for 2022\/2023 Budget,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Teachers\u2019 General Congress meeting was held under the theme: \u201cJoin Hands in Motivating Teachers For Quality Education.\u201d Teachers\u2019 representatives from across the country as well as officials from sister unions of Zambia, South Africa, Namibia and Botswana were attending.<\/p>\n
