Teachers’ lives matter too: Government told to provide them life insurance

The Anglophone crisis has so subjected teachers to hardship, death and violence that there is urgent need to protect their lives. That is why a teacher in Cameroon’s North West region written to the Yaounde government calling for life insurance because their lives too matter. Following is his statement in its entirety:

I am a teacher teaching in the North West region of Cameroon. I am very angry with the way the government is handling the crisis in North West and South West regions.

The SDOs and DOs are forcing us to resume school in our respective areas of duty without thinking of our lives. Does it mean teachers’ lives do not matter?

The government must insure our lives to our various families.

TEACHERS’ LIVES MATTER.

Just last Tuesday, a colleague was kidnapped in Bambui and the government did nothing about it.

My proposal is since we are risking our lives in order to go to where separatist fighters are, in case anything happens to us, the government should pay our families.

I am saying this because the authorities that is the SDO and DO have body guards while we are left without any.

We have equally seen teachers being killed but what happened the next day? They are being replaced by others.

So, the government should insure the lives of teachers in these two regions.
