This was revealed by the National Acting Education Secretary, Dr Uke Kombra, saying that all necessary documents must now be submitted to the payroll division.
The call follows the circular 17/2016 of May 31st sent to all the provincial authorities and is specifically for these teacher graduates to submit the following documents:
• Copies of qualification
• Teacher registration certificate
• Duly completed teacher record of appointments; and
Grade 10/12 certificates.
