In a statement released today, teachers said they are not against parents and students but simply stressing the dangers of teaching learners while frustrated and stressed.

“Teachers are not against parents and students. In actual fact, what teachers are simply saying is that it is very dangerous to entrust the future on learners in the hands of a frustrated, poorly remunerated and stressed teachers. Once the impasse is resolved, teachers will do everything possible to help their learners,” reads the statement.
