SADTU in WC Won't Back Down on Systemic Test Boycott

 

 

Xolani Koyana, Eye Witness News, Cape Town, 21 October 2016

 

The South African Democratic Teachers' Union (SADTU) says it will not call
off its boycott of systematic tests in the Western Cape.

 

Educators who are reportedly affiliated to the union have been going to
schools in Khayelitsha and other areas preventing tests aimed at measuring
the quality of the education system from being written.

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) wrote to the union, calling for
it to stop the boycott or face legal action.

 

SADTU deputy provincial secretary Sibongile Kwazi says the sanction is a
conference-approved resolution.

 

"We intensified the boycott for this year, and it's only our members who
will - through another provincial conference - tell us if we should cease
the boycott."

 

WCED MEC Debbie Schafer says the department cannot be dictated to by the
union.

 

"Their job is to ensure that they represent the interests of teachers in
conditions of employment and collective bargaining, none of which apply to
systemic testing. We can't allow our poor learners to be prejudiced any
longer."
