Protect our teachers

Details: Published: 26 September 2018 26 September 2018

There is a crisis in our schools.

Our teachers cannot be expected to teach in schools where there is little or no discipline and where, on a daily basis, they run the risk of verbal and physical assault.

NAPTOSA (Gauteng) calls on all SGBs to adopt a zero tolerance stance against all forms of violence in our schools and to apply the code of conduct without fear or favour.

NAPTOSA (Gauteng) calls on all communities to protect their teachers.

NAPTOSA (Gauteng) calls on the GDE to show in tangible ways that they are protecting all their employees.

NAPTOSA (Gauteng) rejects the GDE’s proposal that learners must be admitted to a school even if the parents refuse to accept the school’s code of conduct.

Experienced and competent teachers are under severe strain. Young teachers are disillusioned.

A learner’s right to be taught is infringed every time a lesson is disrupted by unruly learners.

TEACHERS ARE A NATIONAL ASSET

Gauteng CEO Retires

NAPTOSA Gauteng bids farewell to its Chief Executive Officer Louise Smit

On 31 December this year Miss Louise Smit will hand the reins of the administration of NAPTOSA Gauteng to her newly appointed successor Mrs Gaylin Bowles. Louise has held the position of CEO since 1 January 2015 and before that she served as Senior Executive Officer of Gauteng since the formation of NAPTOSA on 1 November 2006.

She served education with distinction first as a teacher and then as an official in the department of education before entering the world of the organized profession. Louise was appointed deputy director of SAUVSE (South African Union for Vocational and Specialised Education) before being appointed as Senior Executive Officer of the NUE (National Union of Educators) which amalgamated with other unions to form NAPTOSA. During the months leading up to the formation of NAPTOSA Louise worked tirelessly to help ensure that policies, contracts and the constitution were in place.

Louise leaves a legacy which few can or will match. Her knowledge of conditions of service, salary related matters and labour legislation is legendary. The PAM (Personnel Administrative Measures) has her stamp imprinted on so many of its chapters. An acknowledged expert in these matters she has been frequently consulted by colleagues in the Union (and other unions) as well as officials in the department of education. While her interest in all areas of education is acknowledged it must be said that special schools and TVET colleges held a special place in her heart.
