Ministry wants to validate teachers' pay by requiring completion of class registers. Unions and headteachers demand explanations about "this nonsense"
An official letter dated 7 January — the same day the Government met with unions to discuss the statute governing the teaching career — was sent to schools informing them that recording class registers is compulsory, describing them as indispensable for “validation of the teaching service provided and the corresponding remuneration”.
Ministry confident teachers will agree to new career statute
Unions and the ministry have so far only negotiated the first topic of the Teaching Career Statute (ECD), on the 'Teacher Profile, Rights, Duties and Guarantees', and the text may still be subject to amendment.
