Lusanda Bill
19 August 2010

The Western Cape Education Department has released a management plan for schools during the strike.

Teachers have embarked on a strike for better wages.The teachers were joining thousands of public servants in different sectors around the country.

MEC for Education in the Western Cape Donald Grant said “parents must not allow children to stay away from school during the strike, as extra learning material will be provided to students to keep them busy. These programmes support all grades, with a particular focus on our grade 12’s who will begin writing the first practical examination in just 54 days’ time".

Thirty four schools were closed in the Western Cape yesterday and hundreds more around the country.

The unions have not agreed to the government’s offer, so the unions are going on an indefinite strike.
