A group of 740 teachers is taking the government to court over unfulfilled promotion and salary adjustment promises, Malawi Cables reports. The teachers, who were promoted to Grade I in September of last year, claim authorities failed to deliver their official promotion letters and corresponding pay increases by the end of April. The educators expressed frustration over the delay, noting that the government recently increased salaries for other civil servants while ignoring their pending upgrades.
