FOR NOW ENDURE HARDSHIPS, PEMBA TEACHERS TOLD Government in Pemba District has implored on teachers facing challenges to endure their hardships for a little while as it had already started addressing all their challenges. Addressing scores of teachers yesterday during the commemoration of World Teachers’ Day at Pemba Primary School, Pemba District Commissioner, Reginald Mugoba, told the teachers that their endurance of hardships especially those in hard to reach areas would soon be rewarded as government was implementing various projects in the new district in order to address their plight. “I am aware of the challenges teachers are facing such as long distances to work and other services, lack of electricity and water facilities to mention but a few, but I want to assure that government is working round the clock to address the plight of teachers in the district, and I therefore urge you to be patient,” Mr Mugoba said. Mr Mugoba disclosed that the Rural Roads Unit (RRU) had already started upgrading rural roads leading to schools such as Munyona, Mayasanino, Habbanyuka, Hajamba and Hamabbonka in order to ease access for teachers. He added that the rural electrification program, construction of communication towers in Chiefs Moyo and Hamaundu and construction of health facilities were among the ongoing projects aimed at improving access of teachers to amenities that their urban counterparts were enjoying. And speaking at the same function, Pemba District Education Board Secretary (DEBS), Mary Sifuniso, said teachers needed encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students was appreciated.
