The African Christian Democratic
Party said it is appalled at the decision of Basic Education Minister Angie
Motshekga to shelve plans to have matric exam markers write competency tests
this year.
Umalusi recommended to Parliament
that it must introduce the tests however the South African Democratic Teachers
Union blocked the proposal.
ACDP’s Wayne Thring has said it is
important for teachers that mark the matric exam papers are properly qualified
for the work and are highly skilled.
Thring further said the fact that
the Minister has buckled under the pressure of a Union that
does not bode well for the education of the learners as a whole and education
is intertwined with the economy.
