DA condemns ANAs Boycott
26 November 2015
The DA condemns the SADTU-led teacher union boycott of the Annual National Assessments (ANAs).
Yesterday, SADTU dared the Department of Basic Education to “slap all 400 000 teachers in the country with disciplinary action” for refusing to implement the ANAs.
This fighting talk from SADTU does nothing to advance the best interests of the children of South Africa, and everything to advance SADTU’s own agenda.
While everybody agrees that the Annual National Assessments are far from perfect, they do assist in measuring the quality of maths and language education and in determining where interventions are necessary.
