Despite the participants&#8217; sacrifices, the program has been postponed again until Aug. 5-7, with face-to-face sessions at Hopwood Junior High School. This will only give teachers three days to prepare their classrooms for the new school year, impacting the quality of education.<\/p>\n<p>I find it curious that Dr. Clare attributed the schedule change to the lack of devices and internet access among participants, despite their efforts to procure necessary resources. This is a pattern of behavior that demonstrates a lack of respect and support for the Refaluwasch language and culture.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, I am disappointed that commissioner Camacho and senior director Quitugua took business-related trips during the break, leaving no one available to address our concerns. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>I demand immediate action to address this situation and ensure the certification program is implemented as scheduled. The CCLHS teachers and Refaluwasch community deserve better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gregorie Michael \u00c9ip\u00e9rang Towai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Via email<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/9d1d55590cb89eb1be894c9d0070e339.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><br \/>Letter to the Editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and disgust as a Refaluwasch community member&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-411144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411144\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
