TV for teachers asks critical questions
The budget has been announced and a large slice has been dedicated to education. 'Beyond The Classroom' from SABC Education on SABC1 asks where is the money most needed.
Issues address include: teachers' salaries; training and development; resources; alleviating the impact of HIV and AIDS on the school system; feeding and transporting children; textbooks and the 11 official languages.
Ingrid Bruynse, Editor at SABC Education says: "All these issues are urgent and affect the daily working conditions for South Africa's 366 000 primary and secondary school teachers as they struggle to raise our children into well adjusted, informed, employable and responsible citizens."
This TV for teachers is on SABC1 Sundays at 12h30.
