   specially we Chief Clerks we are underpaid seriously something must be done we are not happy to be at grade 10 whilst the next post is at grade 7. Re-evaluation is needed for us to be at grade 9. I got N$ 46.00 as my regrading what am i going to buy with 46 namibian dollars? There is too big gap between Chief Clerks and Control Officers... - Mrs. V.N. Elago

   We cat. D teachers are not happy with regrading. peanuts we got! - teacher

   Category D teachers are not happy at all with the regrading system. Too huge gap betweem them and HODs although they both practically do 98% of tasks at schools! please regrade instead of degrading. Unhappy workers in general prove unproductive. Category D teachers stand up and fight for rights! OPM please react to this. Why more $ to HODs and Principals and peanuts to cat.D? - june

   Category D teachers stand wake up and stand up for your rights.Why too huge gap between cat.D and HODs although practically they both do at least 95% of tasks at school? OPM please react to this. Why more and more $ to HODs and Principals? It's true that some work supposed to be done by the principals, teachers do and in case of documents principal signs. - a concerned teacher

   category D was the worst affected, simple, pay according to our qualification and experience.. how can i be paid less or the same with some position, who thy have grade 10 and 12 only, after regrading most started at their maximum before regrading - james moody

   one basic element to fundamental stability and social peace amid grand wage re-negotiation is not to temper with wage relativity. Human species shall never be satisfied however much you might want to pay them (something we cannot afford to do anyways) but tempering with historical wage relativity is highly a probable cause of social agony. This should have been a sacred principle throughout the whole orientation. Hiring an alien to attach monetary value to ones toil so a to see how much they are worth is subjective, highly questionable and unsettling. - Negumbo

   I found it interesting that the public servants are now highly paid. Let them render equivalent service. It is therefore my call to the public service commission to put measures in place to monitor the services rendered by civil servants - please stop the syndrome of office time facebooking. - Dr Hango

   we want to know why is that receipts are not printed when it come to backpays. just for us to know how much we are suppose to get and what deductions were made and what is deposited into our accounts in black and white. please. why did Hod and principals got so much with regarding while all they do is delegate to normal teacher. some can not even write communication letter to parents they only sign after teachers have done it. come to schools and see who really do much. normal teacher do so much we stand for 5 hours teaching with no off periods. when you are done you take books home to mark and prepare. the hods and principal have many off periods and sit in offices and talk on their phones or playing games on computers, chating on facebook and after that they come to teacher and demand or stress as. please re-grade according to job that people do and not where you sit as a boss. that is giving money for nothing. Normal teachers who stand infront of learners for 5 days a week and think of learners in weekends need more if this is done according to job descriptions and not positions. please let us be realistic. - tulimo

   why too big gap beteewn categoryD TEACERS & HOD?. what do hod do? ,nothing!. they work is as simple as that of the teacher u ar underpaying. they holding the same certificates , years experiences ,as well as work load as teachers. why are we treated in that way. RE~evaluate our salary scale pls!.at least 2000 difference is reasonable not 4000 or 5000 is too huge. justices is required here seriously.

   One cannot make everyone happy same time. every day has a beginning. Those that are not happy will be happy one day. be patient CDEs - Mr Niilonga

   low ranked in NDF were never regraded,what is this 53 you gave us?!, - Salomon Barcelona

   we category D teachers not happy with regrading system. thats peanut u present to us.why not using the same bloom to both categories in our education level. we all do the same work.and on the other hand u ar dicouraging us to study further. - concerned teacher
