This decision to incorporate the 2023 salary barem is a move by the Chief Shepherd in respond to the voices of the teachers who have for close to a decade decry their financial situation as teachers of catholic schools. Being a father and leader, the Chief Shepherd amongst other priorities embraced since his canonical possession of the Diocese of Buea in 2021, also penned this concern from teachers and is taking necessary steps to ameliorate the situation for better days ahead for this group of workers.
