As per to Manyasa, several schools are experiencing real challenges of sourcing funds to pay the BOM teachers.
Note that in every educate system, bom teachers are critical to ensuring the delivery of quality education across all schools .
As a result , there is need for the government to consider factoring in money for BoM teachers since most parents are not able to pay for these teachers.
