22 January - Human Rights
In today’s show we spoke to Brian Isaacs – Principal of South Peninsula High School. Mr Isaacs has dug in his heels and refused to accept five "disruptive" schoolchildren for the New Year, saying he was prepared to lose his job in order to instil discipline at his school but his action have been received with mixed reactions. The Western Cape Education departm
ent has given a verbal warning to Mr Isaacs saying principals don't have the right to ban learners, but Unions have come out in support of Mr Isaacs’ action. Western Cape SADTU chairperson Sabelo Mali said the department needed to give more support and assistance to teachers in their dealing with discipline at schools. He says “Principals are facing numerous challenges, one of them being discipline. This is where district officials, like circuit managers, should be supporting and assisting teachers”. We were talking to Mr Isaacs about the rules and conduct regulations he has at his school. For more information you can contact the school at (021) 021 712 9318.
