Mogoeng was addressing delegates of the National Teachers’ Union during its policy conference at Empangeni on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal.
The aim of the conference is to revise and scrutinise the policies of the union. The union believes the time has come to revise the policies and make them relevant to the current challenges of education.
“Teachers have to improvise because there no adequate resources or no resources at all not because our country is poor. South Africa is not poor. We have resources but those resources are poorly managed and that impacts negatively on our education. On Tuesday, the board visited schools where fire broke out in some informal settlements in Durban. Learners were left without food and uniforms.
Ntuli elaborate, “It should be government’s top priority to create a safer environment for teaching and learning in schools. Teachers must feel safe in schools. There shall be prodigal need on the side of the government to fix these matters. We also maintain an ear-line between politics and teachers’ union. And I think this puts NATU in a better position to fight for the rights of teachers.”Snethemba Zwane and Phindile Mnabe elaborate.
