A growing healthcare crisis among teachers has sounded alarm bells, prompting calls for urgent government action in the 2025 national budget.
The dire situation was highlighted during a recent parliamentary session, where a concerned parent made an emotional appeal, speaking on behalf of affected educators and their communities.
“I buried more than three, four senior educators from my constituency. In each case, there was a struggle to raise medical fees before their passing.”
The parent lamented the challenges teachers face in accessing healthcare, underscoring the sacrifices made by those who dedicate their lives to educating the nation.
“These individuals have given themselves to us as a people,” the speaker continued, urging Parliament to recognize the importance of teachers’ well-being and ensure their basic needs are met.
