In Nampula, a growing number of education workers, especially teachers, are leaving the districts to work in the provincial capital.

This, according to the Secretary of State in Nampula province, Jaime Neto, means that, for example, teachers who stay in the districts multiply the classes they teach, thus leading to excessive overtime payments, at a time when the country's financial health is not the best.

Jaime Neto expressed his disappointment after a report presented this Tuesday by the Eráti district government, which pointed to the request for many teachers to be transferred to the provincial capital.

The Secretary of State, who is visiting the district of Eráti, said that there was no justification for paying overtime while many teachers were taking refuge in the city of Nampula.

He urged the district administrators to be attentive to this situation because, he explained, they only go to sit in the provincial capital. (RM)
