�No pay for those who don't work�
PHILIPSBURG--The Education Ministry has informed all school boards and teachers of public schools and those funded by government that Monday, January 31, "is a regular school day."
A press release issued by Education Minister Rhoda Arrindell's Policy Advisor last night stated that teachers and students "are expected to attend school normally and on time."
"In a letter to the school boards on Friday, January 28, the Ministry referred to the events of January 27 and 28, 2011, when teachers were called out by their union to a meeting during school hours, which resulted in students being denied education," it was stated in the release.
"The letter stated that this cannot be supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth Affairs because, according to the letter, all possibilities to arrive at an amicable settlement between government and the union without industrial action were not exhausted."
The letter concluded by stating, "In the event persons fail to comply with the directives of the Ministry, the policy of 'no work, no pay' will be applied."
