The National Executive Committee of the Gambia Teachers' Union has called on teachers in public schools across the country to 'put their tools down'.
This is as the union seeks to address the unpaid COVID-19 Allowances owed to teachers.

The COVID-19 Allowance is meant for teachers that were engaged in SIX WORKING DAYS a week during the COVID period.

The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education had said that teachers involved in the said six working days will be compensated D250 per Saturday. Since announcing that and securing the fund from the government, several teachers have been paid but there remains a cohort of teachers who have not received any pay.

The Union after a series of diplomatic engagements with the government to have the said allowances paid has thus called on her membership to lay down their tools until further notice.
