South African Council of Educators (SACE) Annual Report 2009
Posted by Ingrid Thomson | 19 Oct, 2009The Parliamentary Monitoring Group reports on the briefing given by South African Council of Educators to the Committee for Basic Education.
The South African Council of Educators provided the Committee with an account of the activities that the Council undertook during the 2008/09 financial year. The Council had aimed to achieve two targets during this period, namely to register all qualifying teachers and to maintain a credible database of all registered teachers. The Council had exceeded these expectations and currently maintained a database with more than 500 000 teachers registered. A serious lack of accommodation continued to hamper the work of the Council. It was further impeded by the lack of sufficient funding for the Professional Teacher Development Programme. The Council could not reach out to all corners of the country due to lack human and capital resources.
