AMMAN — Vice President of the
Jordanian Teachers Association Nasser Al-Nawasrah said that the association council approved a
number of steps for the upcoming stage when the association will be operational
again and when a decision is taken on those eligible for early retirement but
wish to stay on in their jobs, with full rights, according to Jo24.

Nawasrah said
that the association has given a week to Amman Governor
Yasser Al-Adwan and the
secretary general of the Ministry of Education to solve this file, adding that
the teachers’ association will resort to protests again, either at the ministry
or at its provincial departments, if their problems are not addressed.
He added that it
is illegal to force teachers into early retirement; noting that some 70 teachers are
willing to return to work.
Nawasrah pointed
out that more measures will be taken and that the association is planning to do
more than protest if there is more procrastination and postponing in solving
those files.
He said that the
main goal now is to have the association operational again, irrespective of
whether the current council continues to work as per its legal term or a new
council is elected by holding elections, adding that dozens of
teachers were
impacted by the closure of the association whose top priority is to uphold
teachers’ interests.
Nawasrah also said that
the association's council is waiting for a legal decision on the cases that had
been filed for appeal a year and a month ago.
