Kaieteur News Publisher Glenn Lall

Kaieteur News last Friday apologised to Education Minister Priya Manickchand for carrying an article captioned “Manickchand tells teachers if they don’t like the salary, quit”. Following the publication of the news item on Thursday, May 31, Manickchand called the news house and made her displeasure known.
The article also claimed that Manickchand said teachers who are dissatisfied with their salaries and are not dedicated to educating the nation’s children, should quit their job.
Kaieteur News further alleged that the education minister made the “disturbing” comment during a recent public consultation at the New Amsterdam Secondary School, Berbice.
The minister was at the time speaking at a conference attended by Region Six head teachers, teachers and education officers to determine the future of the ministry’s automatic promotion and corporal punishment policies.
