SADTU General Secretary elected EI Vice President
SADTU wishes to congratulate its General Secretary Cde Mugwena Maluleke for
being unanimously elected as the Vice President for Education International
during its 7th World Congress in Ottawa, Canada. EI is a global teachers and
education workers' union federation representing over 30 million teachers
and education workers from 172 countries with 401 union members.
The unanimous election of our General Secretary is an indication of the
confidence that teachers around the world have not only in his leadership as
an individual but in SADTU as an organisation. This is recognition of our
hard work and dedication towards quality public education here at home and
abroad.
This international milestone flies in the face of the prophets of doom who
have been at pains to suggest that SADTU is now a shadow of its former self
particularly under its current leadership. Notably, some of these prophets
are expelled former leaders of SADTU who have been hard at work to establish
an alternative union from within our own ranks. We want to advise them that
it actually takes hard work, dedication and selflessness to build a
reputable organisation that can be recognized the world over and not just a
burning desire to be in a leadership position and to use that to live an
affluent life style.
We are confident that our General Secretary will succeed in his new role and
will continue to act as the unifying glue for teachers across the world.
With him being part of the leadership collective, we expect Education
International to wage a relentless war against the emerging scourge of
privatization of education around the world amongst others. We expect EI to
continue to fight for quality public education for all through the
improvement of the conditions of service of teachers and increased public
spending on education. As SADTU we will continue to play our role and
provide EI with the maximum support that it requires to implement its
resolutions.
Workers of the world unite for you have nothing but shackles to free
yourselves from!
