TT Unified Teachers Association president Crystal Ashe said over 100 business operations assistants (BoAs) have not been paid since their contracts expired at the end of November. He said this is concerning with schools set to reopen on Monday, as these workers are integral to the running of these institutions.

Speaking to Newsday via phone on January 2, Ashe said BoAs are the secretaries who assist principals in running schools.

“We would have met with the education ministry just before the contracts expired and were told they would be renewed. To date none of these people have been communicated with.
