Teacher unions: Maimane’s call to increase 30% pass mark just ‘politicking’ | Citypress

This consensus by the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation and the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union was made clear to City Press on Monday afternoon.

The unions added that the One Movement leader was using the country’s education system as a “national campaign for his political ambitions”.Subscribe to News24 for just R75 per month to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. You can cancel any time.

Teachers union? The same entity that is causing the teachers suffering in the workplace because of their incompetency and lack of knowledge of grassroots pedagogy? Yes, they don't know what the word even mean without looking it up...

For those who are serious about fixing education, clearly the unions are not. I recommend that you read the education rescue plan. It is well known that the unions are part of the problem in education.

And we are supposed to compete with other nations !

What a sad take 🤷‍♂️

But he Maimane also passed matric with 30% mark

This is a cogent understanding

30% is a fail. That’s it Mr Maimane. You are RIGHT

Regardless,is 30% pass mark credible?

Of course, that's what they would say - after all, to aim for a higher pass means that they would need to actually teach - they r not about that life

These union heads, can we see their MATRIC results first.... Then we can discuss their politicking!

It’s not politicking when our kids are fed crap… imagine if it was your kid

A sabbatical is highly recommended. Operation Khokhumoya.

I just want to say a very big thank you, to your company for its transparency. I had doubts at first but seeing I got paid I deemed it necessary to share with the general public and let them know that you are real and reliable account manager 👉SarahMich321

The teachers dont give a rats, they do not have to deal with a thick as 3 bricks employee the next year.

Why give marks at all...just give a pass or fail..there is no jobs out there

Really

So 40% is still good enough for this Maluleke champ? Talk about who is really trying to remain relevant. They'll do anything to make sure they do the bare minimum.

The Standard Grade pass was always 33%. As far as I remember.

Maybe they should make and provide an audit on how many of their members are having their kids in private sector schools...

The 30% was a desperate gimmick to create the false impression that those SAdtu assholes aka teachers are working the reality is they're nt teaching but cheating

They must be smoking their socks 30%😏

You're indeed a great woman to the called, because of the good and excellent work you did for me, I'll be sharing the good news about you Robert_BAR1

'No such thing as 30% pass rate': Basic Education DeptThe department was responding to an uproar over the so-called thirty percent pass mark for matric pupils. I lost my wife while looking for employment. I have two children (3 & 4 years) to take care of now and I'm struggling and in my struggle my children sleep hungry😔. Please assist us with any food parcel or tinned food you dont use🙏🏻. For my babies 🙏🏻 Pass rate or passmark? By now, anyone who does not know that 30% applies to one subject, and Gr 12 learners still have to attain high APS scores to be accepted at varsity, is disingenuous.

Maimane's claims 'misleading' - No one can pass matric with 30% says DBE'No candidate can obtain a National Senior Certificate if he/she passes all seven subjects at 30%,' the department has argued. Stop rearranging the deck chairs. The point remains that learners can pass some subjects with a mark of 30%. This breeds mediocrity. It's dumbing down our education system.
