The Fiji Teachers Union (FTU) has encouraged the Ministry of Education (MoE) to consider all concerns when conducting its policy of transferring teachers after six years.

FTU national president, Muniappa Goundar said for a teacher to be transferred after a stint of six years, the ministry must ensure family welfare was priority.

“The transfer policy had been there for decades,” Mr Goundar said.

“Transferring teachers is nothing new, but demands careful consideration on the reasons for transfer.

“For a teacher to be transferred just because he or she had been at a school for more than six years is unacceptable by the union.”
