ANC KZN, 18 May 2015 ANC Calls for a Speedy Resolution of the Teachers' Strike in Ilembe and Ugu Districts The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal calls for cool heads and the prioritisation of learners' right to education by the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) and the Department of Education as they are trying to deal with the standoff that has seen schools closed for two weeks in Ilembe and Ugu Districts. The strike is a major cause for concern as it affects the education of learners who have been out of school since it started two weeks ago. The ANC takes the education of children very serious and gets concerned when learners are out of school as a result of issues that can be address and be resolved. We call on all the parties who are part of the issues preventing learners from learning to find a solution to the problem immediately. The ANC cannot sit back and relax when the future of learners is being jeopardised. That is the reason why a call is made on all the parties involved to resolve the problem as soon as possible so that learners will go back to school and prepare themselves for the life ahead. We understand that there are issues that have led to the current situation but those issues are not bigger than the future of learners who are facing the risk of not getting good results at the end of the year. We note with sadness that two weeks after the strike started, there is still no indication of when are learners going back to school. We know that there have been engagements between the provincial Department of Education and SADTU but sad to note that those engagements have not yet produced any results.
