Department of Basic Education says Rothi Makubela ‘misdirected the province that there was a protest in the area’.
The principal of Phandimfundo Secondary in Etwatwa, Gauteng will face disciplinary proceedings for allegedly advising matriculants to miss one of their final exams due to community protests in the area.released on Tuesday, accused Rothi Makubela of “misdirecting the province [Gauteng] that there was a protest in the area”. The DBE said that the principal had advised learners to not “appear for the paper”.
It is not clear whether the principal’s actions were motivated by the ongoing Public Servants Association dispute with government over deadlocked wage increase negotiations. The DBE has since instructed the Gauteng East District to “initiate a disciplinary proceeding” against her. The department said it would “announce the next step to be taken for learners who missed the examinations through no fault of their own”.
The Gauteng Department of Education refused to say whether it will provide support to those learners at Phandimfundo Secondary or if it would discuss the matter with the DBE.
