Teachers have called for the abolition of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), full implementation of the National Minimum Wage, the Teachers’ Peculiar Salary Structure (TPSS) and other improved welfare packages.
The demands were presented during an interactive session between the All Progressives Congress Governorship Candidates, Senator Solomon Adeola and teachers drawn from various education unions and professional associations across the state at the Ake Palace Ground, Abeokuta.
While acknowledging Adeola’s numerous interventions in the education sector over the years, the teachers stressed that any meaningful reform in the sector must prioritize the welfare and motivation of educators.
Speaking on behalf of secondary school principals, the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), Ogun State chapter, Evangelist Alaba Olugbenle, described the gathering as a dream come true.
