Review of Effects of Today's Industrial Action - 30 August 2010

29 August 2010

Management arrangements by the Western Cape Education Department to monitor attendance of educators during today's industrial strike action indicate that there has been a decrease in school closures and teacher absenteeism since Friday.

5.7% (90) of our schools closed as a result of today's industrial strike action.

15% of educators were absent from work.

We are thankful that the vast majority of our schools in the Western Cape continued to function.

We continue to advise parents and caregivers to send their children to school on Tuesday.
