IFP Against Teacher Retrenchments in KZN
21 September 2021
The IFP is shocked and dismayed to learn about the plans to retrench thousands of workers in the KZN Department of Education, including teachers.
According to the KZN MEC for Education, Kwazi Mshengu, the KZN Provincial Treasury has told the Department to cut staff numbers.
Mshengu stated that the plan called for the Department to cut over 6 000 staff, including more than 2 000 teachers.
This is a recipe for disaster.
