Teacher Laptop Initiative
MEDIA RELEASE / CIRCULAR
DATE: 27 February 2010
1. INTRODUCTION
The much-anticipated rollout of the Teacher Laptop Initiative, which was intended to be in February 2010, has been delayed by a few crucial matters that have to be finalised. The official rollout of the TLI has thus not yet begun. However, it is important that teachers should be aware of developments and not be misled into purchasing a laptop only to discover at a later stage that they do not qualify for a subsidy and/or stop order facility.
SADTU NEC Media Press Statement
MEDIA STATEMENT
19 February 2010
SADTU endorses Cosatu’s call for a lifestyle audit of political leaders; urges ANC President Zuma to be more visible in his defence of Secretary General Gwede Mantashe; will vigorously resist any attempt to curtail labour rights; rejects proposed Post Provisioning Norms which entrench the inequalities of the past; concerned that the Quality Learning and Teaching Campaign is not getting off the ground in the DA-controlled Western Cape province.
SADTU rejects DA’s attack on labour rights
MEDIA RELEASE
10.02.2010
SADTU is disgusted – but not surprised – by the DA’s call for the removal of the educators’ right to strike. As champions of racial and class privilege, the DA’s opposition to labour rights and strong trade unionism comes as no surprise. The DA is playing a disingenuous political game and SADTU will vigorously oppose any attempt to curtail labour rights granted since the fall of apartheid.
