The High Court has dismissed the Presbyterian Board’s (PCTT) complaint against the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) over a decision to advertise vacancies for the position of Teacher I (Primary) in denominational schools.

Justice Westmin James held the commission acted lawfully in his decision delivered on March 10.

The PCTT had argued that the commission’s refusal to accept recommendations from the Presbyterian Primary Schools’ Board of Education (PPSBE) was unlawful and in violation of long-established practices under the 1960 Concordat.
