Teachers have no excuse not to give their best

There is no doubt in my mind government must ensure adequate money is spent on education from early childhood development (ECD), primary, secondary and tertiary education.
I have proposed in my earlier columns there is no place for private education in South Africa. Private education encourages elitism and does not expose all South Africans to the problems in education in South Africa.
Schools are overcrowded and lack the necessary infrastructure and number of teachers, unlike private and former Model C schools.
I believe teachers working in the majority of schools of the poor must see that it is their political duty to see they have the qualifications to teach. They must go beyond their call of duty to see they give the children of this country a quality education.
