Die Wes-Kaapse Onderwys-departement (WKOD) het verlede week aangekondig meer as 2 000 van die onderwysposte in di\u00e9 provinsie sal volgende jaar nie beskikbaar wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nuus laat die onderwysgemeen\u00adskap geskok, maar ook bekommerd omdat daar nog onsekerheid is oor watter onderwysers se poste direk geraak gaan word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die werklikheid is dat die besnoeiing van onderwysposte alle onderwysers raak. Die onderwysers wie se poste nie besnoei gaan word nie, gaan met \u2019n n\u00f3g ho\u00ebr werkslading sit en n\u00f3g groter klasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens David Maynier, LUR vir onderwys, probeer die departement alles in sy vermo\u00eb om die besnoeiing te vermy, maar met die nasionale regering wat aan die voorgestelde onderwysbegroting van die Wes-Kaap sny, is hul hande afgekap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns doen alles wat ons kan om vir ons onderwysers te veg, maar ons word gekortwiek deur die nasionale regering, en ontvang slegs 64% van die koste van die nasionaal onderhandelde loonooreenkoms, wat die provinsie oorlaat om die oorblywende 36% te finansier, wat tot \u2019n massiewe begrotingstekort van R3,8 miljard lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het alles in ons vermo\u00eb gedoen om vir ons onderwysers te veg deur begrotingsbesnoeiings oor die hele linie op te l\u00ea, insluitend administrasie, kurrikulum en infrastruktuur. Ons het ook die werwing van die meeste staatsdienspersoneel gevries, skole aangemoedig om kontrakaanstellings om te skakel en die aanstelling van plaasvervangeronderwysers te beperk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maynier meen vir die departement om finansieel bestendig te bly, het hulle nie \u2019n keuse as om poste te besnoei nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie WKOD sal nou saam met skole werk om te bepaal watter onderwysers geraak sal word. Ons dank nie onderwysers af nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie vermindering van poste sal beteken dat sommige kontrakonderwysers nie heraangestel sal word nadat hul kontrakte op 31 Desember eindig nie, en sommige permanente onderwysers sal gevra word om na \u2019n ander skool te skuif waar \u2019n geskikte vakature beskikbaar is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solidariteit het dit duidelik gemaak dat hy gekant is teen die WKOD se besluit. Johan Botha, adjunkhoofsekretaris van professionele sektore by Solidariteit, meen daar is reeds \u2019n tekort aan onderwysers en \u2019n kommerwekkende aantal leerders sukkel met basiese vaardighede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy reken die situasie is as gevolg van die swak bestuur van die departement van basiese onderwys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brett Herron, die GOOD-party se sekretaris-generaal en lid van die Wes-Kaapse parlement, s\u00ea: \u201cDie vermindering van onderwysposte in die Wes-Kaap sal kinders se reg op basiese onderwys direk raak, tesame met die gehalte van onderwys wat hulle in staatskole ontvang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die getal poste wat in die onderskeie onderwysdistrikte verminder sal word is soos volg: Kaapse Wynland (299); Weskus (117); Overberg (117); Eden en Sentraal Karoo (200); Metro-sentraal (309); Metro-oos (459); Metro-noord (462) en Metro-suid (444).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paarl Post<\/span> het met \u2019n plaaslike onderwyser gesels oor hul bekommernisse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOm \u2019n pos of poste te verloor, is \u2019n netelige saak. Die feit dat ons skool \u2019n pos verloor, sal definitief tot ons nadeel strek. Die meeste opvoeders is reeds oorlaai met die klasse wat hulle aanbied, en om nou \u2019n ekstra lading te moet dra, gaan nog meer druk op hulle plaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVan ons klasse het tot 49 leerders, wat beteken \u00f3f die klasse word 55 \u00f3f ons moet beheerraadposte skep \u2013 iets wat ons nie kan bekostig nie. Ons hoop is absoluut op die WKOD om sy besluit te heroorweeg, anders gaan gehalte- onderwys in die wiele gery word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Derdejaar-onderwysstudent s\u00ea sy is \u201cbaie bekommerd en angsbevange\u201d oor die moontlikheid dat sy dalk nie werk sal kry wanneer sy haar studies voltooi nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het in vroe\u00ebkinderontwikkeling gestudeer en was die topstudent en het met 94% geslaag. Ek het toe nagedink om verder \u2013 ook met \u2019n gesukkel \u2013 te leer, want ek was altyd op \u2019n waglys. Ek het baie gebid dat ek net aanvaar moet word by \u2019n universiteit, want dis my passie om met kinders te werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk\u2019s toe uiteindelik aanvaar in my tuisdorp by KSUT in Wellington, waar ek tans \u2019n A-kandidaat is. Ek is super trots op myself, want ek is 41. Ek het nooit besef wat regtig in my steek nie, maar deur die opgewondenheid, toe kom die skielike teleurstelling wat so hartseer is, want ek het regtig laat aande opgesit. Soms wou ek opgee en nou net om te hoor onderwysposte word gesny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is tans \u2019n derdejaarstudent wat nie weet wat volgende gaan gebeur nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSal daar ooit werk vir ons wees? <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is bekommerd en ek stres, want wat gaan van al die ander studente word wat tans leer? Ek soek net klarigheid oor wat met ons gaan gebeur, want hoe kan \u2019n mens net poste sny?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOnderwysers is daar om leerders te leer en dis reeds moeilik om aan 30 kinders in \u2019n klas aandag te gee of by almal uit te kom, wat nog te s\u00ea van 40 of meer kinders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit voel of ons beweeg na die verlede toe ons 40 tot 44 in \u2019n klas was.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Wes-Kaapse Onderwys-departement (WKOD) het verlede week aangekondig meer as 2 000 van die onderwysposte in di\u00e9 provinsie sal
