SADTU hosts policy conference

Our last interview was with Jonovan Rustin - Secretary of the South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) in the Western Cape. He told us more about their recent policy conference that took place in Gauteng last weekend. The conference adopted resolutions on matters pertaining to education, labour and gender which will be incorporated into policy once they have been adopted by the Nation Executive Committee of the Union. On labour, the conference called for the reintroduction of the senior and master teacher system with clear job descriptions.
