After eight months of delay, the Board of Directors of the
compensation fund of the educational staff in private schools, at its
meeting yesterday, the families of compensation and pensions for
retirees or retirees, which were reserved because of disagreement with
school administrations on the implementation of the law series and
salaries. The Fund will proceed directly to payment of receivables on a
string-only basis, with a dispute being linked to the six special
grades.
On a parallel line, parents committees continued their
confrontations with the administrations against the backdrop of
imposing increases on school fees in exchange for the application of the
law of the chain. One of the equations that led to the negotiations was
that «the teacher makes the contract with the school and not with the
students and their parents». Each time the committees stressed that the
administration can not invoke the financial deficit and inability to pay
the series and six grades of the exceptional teachers as long as the
parents only give the three sheets of the budget and ask them to sign
"blank" without providing them with documents and invoices that prove
this claim .
However, some committees have recently concluded
agreements that ended strikes for teachers, as happened at the National
Evangelical School in Nabatiyeh, where students returned to their seats
two weeks after the forced suspension. The agreement guarantees that the
parents will pay 250,000 pounds for every student, as an advance, to
cover the increase in salaries of teachers without the six grades. The
signing of the budget will remain frozen until the decision is reached
in the educational arbitration council that is not currently formed. The
administration has promised to compensate students for what they missed
during the holidays, including the election holiday. It is noteworthy
that the Parents Committee obtained early March, a decision by the judge
of urgent matters in Nabatieh Ahmed Mezher to stop the increase on
school fees of 550 thousand pounds until the decision to the objection
submitted to the competent authorities and the cancellation of the draft
school budget for the school for violating the provisions of the law.
At
the Lycee Verdun School of the French Secular Mission, the Parents'
Committee pledged to take out the value of the series and only six
degrees of the judiciary, which froze the increase and paid the teachers
without agreeing to sign the budget. This initial agreement has led
teachers to return from their ongoing strike since last Thursday. This
agreement did not extend to all the major French lees and the rest of
the lexicons in Tripoli, Nahr Ibrahim and Nabatiyeh. The teachers
'sources in the Grand Lycee say that the teachers' battle is not only
their salary, which was returned to the pre-series, but also the
withholding of the right to strike, by deducting his days from the
salary.
