Cosatu and civil society organisations protest against the Western Cape Education Department's decision to cut over 2,000 teaching jobs, highlighting the negative impact on education quality in poor communities.
SACP Western Cape Provincial Secretary Benson Ngqentsu addresses the crowd on concerns over the cutting of teacher posts before the State Of the Province Address with Western Cape Premier Alan Winde listening to the party's concerns. Cape Town - Cosatu on Wednesday said the more than 2 000 jobs cut by the Western Cape Education Department have affected poor working-class communities across the province.
SACP Western Cape secretary, Benson Ngqentsu, said the Western Cape provincial government, led by the DA, must commit to industrialising the Central Karoo district as a basis to address poverty and unemployment. "This cannot be described as a class, but mass meeting, as a teacher will not be able to identify a slow learner and assist.
“We remain focused on ensuring that teaching and learning continues, because this is in the best interests of our learners.”ANC provincial spokesperson, Muhammad Khalid Sayed, said the marchers' efforts were to make sure that each child gets quality education.
