The New Age reports that teachers affiliated to the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) have threatened to embark on a protest against the provincial education department next week to press for the delivery of stationery and better working conditions.
"Unless the department delivers all stationery and textbooks to schools, teachers will hit the streets on January 26 to protest. We also demand the payment of all teachers for promotional posts and performance management bonuses. We demand extension of contracts of temporary teachers," provincial secretary Matome Raphasha said. This comes as hundreds of schools in the province have not received stationery despite promises to supply all schools before the start of the first term. On temporary teachers, department spokesperson Dr Naledzani Rasila said contracts were being renewed or terminated depending on the need for such services and that each contract needed to be treated on its merit. The department said it was open for queries regarding payments of teachers.
