ALLOW me to air my views about our teachers.
People are asking why learners in the North are failing. Because of teachers who don’t know the content of the subject they are teaching (and also don’t speak English fluently).Some schools in the North have been made the dumping ground for learners with low points.Could your expect learners with 23-25 points to pass? How, if they’re all passive or inactive and have no one with higher point to compete with and encourage competition? The Ministry of Education has to make sure when placing learners at schools that they must mix learners with higher and lower points.The story of selecting learners with higher points and sending them to one school must come to an end.That system is showing “apartheid”.We are all looking for professionalism and therefore, we must be given equal opportunity to be educated.Please make sure all schools have enough material for the numbers of learners at each school.Iita Dawid K Olundjinda-OngandjeraBecause of teachers who don’t know the content of the subject they are teaching (and also don’t speak English fluently).Some schools in the North have been made the dumping ground for learners with low points.Could your expect learners with 23-25 points to pass?
