News24 reports that the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) on Thursday used its Youth Day statement to lash out against the findings of an education department ‘jobs-for-cash’ report.
It suggested that the findings could bring back apartheid. Last month, a report by a ministerial task team found that there was some truth to claims that corruption had seeped into the appointment process for school vacancies. One of the team’s recommendations was that teachers and principals could be banned from being office bearers in political parties or unions. School governing bodies could also have their wings clipped regarding their right to recommend people for senior posts. Sadtu said: "Teachers are part of the school governing bodies and… taking away their powers is taking us back to the Apartheid Verwoerd era."
