SADTU pleads with new KZN govt to focus on improving schools
The South African Democratic Teachers Union in KZN has asked the new local government to focus on improving schools and supporting teachers.
"It must be committed to flying the flag high, but it will only be able to do that if workers like teachers and support staff are motivated. Also, they must engage the premier to remove the moratorium on the appointment of security guards and cleaners," says SADTU's Nomarashiya Caluza.
