The Department of Education has reinstated certain officials who were removed after theft and corruption allegations. One has even been promoted acording to a local newspaper.<\/p>\n
The Tribune reports that the individuals in question, who were among 10 department employees transferred in January, following a series of thefts from the storage unit were uncovered, have taken up new education posts – despite the fact that the police inquiry has yet to be completed.<\/p>\n
To add salt to the wouund, one of the allegedly crooked employees has even been transferred to the section of the ministry overseeing the upcoming $11.8 million education grant from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), according to the paper’s “top level” source.<\/p>\n
The claims came to light as part of an ongoing Tribune investigation into the management of the public school system.<\/p>\n
Several officials claim that although the Ministry of Education has been given a mandate to overhaul the system and make it more transparent, there is a camp within the ministry resisting this move.<\/p>\n
According to a source, the promotions are part of an effort to “cover up” claims of wrongdoing in an attempt to protect the image and reputation of the ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
