SADTU MEDIA ALERT: PROTECTING OUR SCHOOLS FOR A BETTER FUTURE

The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union, the biggest union in the education and public service sector, in collaboration with the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) and UNICEF South Africa, are on a campaign to protect schools’ infrastructure.

This collaboration stems from SADTU’s “I AM A SCHOOL FAN” campaign intended to mobilise all stakeholders which include learners, parents, teachers, community members, relevant government departments, faith-based organisations, and the private sector to play a decisive role towards ensuring that schools are safe.

The July 2021 “riots” and the recent floods in KwaZulu-Natal further illuminated the infrastructure challenges in our schools. This leg of the campaign, working together with NECT and UNICEF South Africa, aims to further mobilise all stakeholders to protect the much-needed school infrastructure.

The media are hereby invited to attend and cover the launch. The details are as follows:

Date: Wednesday, 27 July 2022
