- Description
- On 7 August, more than 6 000 teachers from all over the Transvaal gathered in Johannesburg. The teachers wanted the government to know how difficult teaching is when there are no proper facilities. The teachers met at the City Hall to talk about their problems. Then, at one o’clock, everyone left the hall and marched to the Department of Education and Training offices in Braamfontein. Down Rissik Street the teachers marched, right past the Upbeat offices. All you could see were teachers, teachers and more teachers. When they reached the DET offices, they gave the DET a list of their demands. This is what your teachers want. The DET must recognise the teachers’ union, SADTU. The DET must stop making the lives of teachers who belong to the union difficult. All teachers must earn a living wage. There must be smaller classes and more teachers. All schools must be open to all people. Women teachers and girl students must be treated the same as males. All education laws to do with apartheid must go. The DET must confirm the jobs of all teachers on probation.
