Three
hundred primary school teachers will be sent for training after they failed a
Grade 3 English first additional language test.
The
Basic Education Department says this should not come as a shock because English
is not the home language of many teachers
.
The
Zenex Foundation found the English proficiency of the teachers tested in the
Western Cape, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal is comparable to that of a
Grade 3 learner.
Basic
Education's Elijah Mahlangu says the department is aware English is challenging
for some teachers.
