Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Ministry of Economy and Finance acknowledges that it must still pay teachers more than 87 million meticais (\u20ac1.3 million) for overtime worked in 2022, but says it has detected situations of \u201cbloating\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a clarification sent to Lusa on Thursday in the face of protests from teachers demanding these payments, the finance ministry reveals that the education sector billed 236,244,405.95 meticais (\u20ac3.4 million) for overtime in the months of October and November, 2022.<\/p>\n

Of this total, 158,190,652.16 meticais (\u20ac2.3 million) was validated, for 5,404 employees, and 71,113,995.11 meticais (\u20ac1 million) has already been paid to 2,474 employees at 137 schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich makes up a part of the universe of schools in the city and province of Maputo, the cities of Quelimane and Nampula, with payment of 87,076,657.06 meticais corresponding to 2,930 employees still outstanding,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Dozens of Mozambican teachers took to the streets of Matola, on the outskirts of Maputo, on Wednesday to protest over delays in payment for overtime and threatening to boycott the start of the school year in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the government does not respond to our concerns, it can rest assured that the teachers , on the opening day [of the school year], instead of presenting themselves at schools, will present themselves in the gardens, squares and streets, to claim their rights,\u201d Isac Marrengula, president of the National Association of Teachers (ANAPRO), told the media.<\/p>\n

Various professional classes, including teachers, doctors and health professionals, have since 2023 complained of delays in the payment of salaries and overtime since the introduction of the public sector Single Salary Table (TSU).<\/p>\n

Holding posters with messages such as \u201cThey cheated us with the TSU\u201d and \u201cPay for overtime\u201d, the teachers marched through the streets of Matola in their white coats, singing protest songs and demanding the payment of overtime.<\/p>\n

Information released to the press on Thursday by the Ministry of Economy and Finance highlights that with the implementation of the TSU in October and November 2022, overtime \u201cwas not processed, and a validation procedure was instituted by the General Inspectorate of Finance\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assessment of information regarding the overtime work carried out by state employees and agents in the remaining schools resumes this month; it includes the debt relating to the 2023 financial year\u201d, the note adds.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Finance also states that \u201cthe amount of 337,421,590.71 meticais, payable to 3,235 employees from 149 schools\u201d has so far been validated\u201d<\/p>\n

It also states that, \u201cin coordination\u201d with the Ministry of Education and Human Development, the Ministry of Economy and Finance \u201chas been working on the process of improving and controlling overtime worked by teaching staff\u201d and that the government \u201chas prioritised the payment of salary and other supplements,\u201d whereas overtime must be \u201csubject to the verification and validation process\u201d.<\/p>\n

Previous inspection of overtime expenses had revealed irregularities such as presentation of overtime \u201cwithout evidence of its completion\u201d, calculation of these compensation \u201cwithout completing the minimum mandatory working hours\u201d, scheduling of overtime \u201cwithout having signed the time book\u201d, overtime claimed for weekly rest days, and \u201cbloated hours\u201d.<\/p>\n
