The Ethiopian Teachers Assocation (ETA) has dismissed its long-time chairman, Dr Taye Woldesemayat last week, according to Addis Dimts Radio reporter in Addis Ababa.
ETA’s 7-member executive committee reportedly made the decision to fire Dr Taye after he failed to communicate with the association’s officials in Addis Ababa for the past several months.
The executive committee also said that Dr Taye has failed to heed the association’s rule that prevents its officials from aligning themselves with any political party.
Dr Taye has also failed to report to the executive committee any material and other kinds of assistance he was getting for the ETA from sister organizations around the world, Addis Dimts reporters said.
Addis Dimts radio’s host Abebe Belew had invited Dr Taye to respond, but he refused complaining that the media in Washington DC are biased.
