The South African Democratic Teachers Union
in the Western Cape says it will
always protect the interest of learners and parents. This follows the judgment
on Tuesday by the Supreme Court of Appeal granting the Western Cape Education
Department to close 16 of the 17 schools.
Former MEC of Education Donald Grant said
the reason for the school closures was because of underperforming and decrease
pupil numbers.
Sadtu’s Jonavon Rustin said it is always a
sad day when any school gets closed especially in the communities where the
school is the nucleus of criminal activities.
Rustin says our legal team is currently
studying the judgement and we will take instruction from the legal team on the way
forward, whether we should appeal this matter to the Constitutional
Court .
