The Committee noted with concern the fact that unions felt that the responsibility of teacher training had been shifted to them. The reports the Committee was receiving from the Department was that all LTSM had been delivered, except for small cases of non-delivery. However, the unions were portraying a completely different and opposing report of wide-spread non-delivery. The Committee was also concerned over the reports on the deteriorating infrastructure and the minimal support coming from the Department. The Committee was also interested in ideas of how to attract teachers to rural areas through possible incentives. The Committee was concerned as to whether there was value for money in continuing with the Dinaledi Schools. Of particular concern was the amount of extra time teachers were required to be teaching, taking into account all the extra morning classes, afternoon classes, Saturday classes and special camps.
