Cape Town - Some 250 teachers, 33 principals, 31 school management team members and 53 education department officials were disciplined last year for anything from theft to fraud, assault, corruption and alcohol abuse.
These shocking numbers were revealed in a written reply by Education MEC Debbie Schäfer to a question by ANC education spokesperson Khalid Sayed in the provincial legislation.
The figures were released as the Vredenburg Primary School principal who allegedly denied a second-year education student, William Sezoe, an opportunity to observe a class because of his hairstyle, was fined and issued with a written warning.
