Education was a moral issue and teaching a calling, the Anglican Church of Southern Africa said on Sunday.
It was speaking on the call made to Anglicans who were members of the SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu), to transform the organisation into a body which served education or to resign from it.
At a meeting of the church’s provincial synod, its highest legislative body, it adopted a strongly worded resolution which included asking Parliament to declare teaching an essential service, and making it clear to education department officials that “inefficiency and corruption” were absolutely unacceptable.
