Schools to adopt merit-based system

Schools to adopt merit-based system

GORONTALO, Gorontalo: A government official complained on
Thursday that most elementary school principals in the city got
promotions based solely on seniority, and not quality.

The number of people that have received the promotions, which
are not based on merit, reaches some 80 percent out of total of
107 elementary school principals in the city, said the head of
Gorontalo education office, Darwis Salim. "It is concerning. In
the not too distant future, we will adopt a promotion system that
will be merit-based," said Darwis, while blaming the present
system as the culprit behind the poor state of education in the
city. -- Antara
