The South African Teachers Democratic Union
says that it is not demanding extra holidays for teachers, but being wrongly
cited in media reports.
SADTU General Secretary Mugwena Maluleke
said he never called for more or longer holidays but that he was highlighting
the systematic challenges facing the Department and the quality of
education.
The Union is saying it was
talking about the fact that “the system is dependent on teachers working on
holidays”. SADTU received complaints from teachers saying that that their
holidays are being taken away, as they have to take exams on the final day of
term and then mark these at home, during weekends, or during their holidays.
This is causing stress on their families and that is why they are demanding that their holidays are respected.
