Sev­er­al spe­cial ed­u­ca­tion in­struc­tors at­tached to the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion have been out of work since Au­gust, de­spite be­ing suc­cess­ful­ly rein­ter­viewed for re­newed three-year con­tracts last year.

An in­struc­tor, speak­ing anony­mous­ly on be­half of her­self and oth­ers, to­geth­er with a par­ent, reached out to Guardian Me­dia fol­low­ing re­peat­ed, unan­swered at­tempts to con­tact Stu­dent Sup­port Ser­vices.

“When my con­tract end­ed, I was told the tran­si­tion would be smooth. I was suc­cess­ful in my in­ter­view and was promised an­oth­er three-year con­tract, but months have passed and noth­ing has hap­pened. I still have bills, loans, med­ical ex­pens­es, and chil­dren to take care of,” one of the in­struc­tors said.
