News daily was able to obtain copies of the termination letters, and TSC termed the action on the intern teachers as professional misbehavior or misconduct.
“This relates to the show cause letter that you received, wherein you were given the chance to justify why your internship shouldn’t be terminated due to professional misconduct. Part of the letter states, “The Commission has carefully considered your response and found the same to be unsatisfactory”.
The shocking revelation comes just weeks after TSC served 7, 357 intern teachers out of 46,000 show cause letters for their riots.
During those letters, many students missed out on studies and bemoaned their low pay and unfavorable employment terms, demanding to be confirmed on Permanent and Pensionable (PnP) terms.
