12.1 National Professional Teachers Organisation of South Africa (NAPTOSA) - One issue raised was that of the learners at cross-boundary schools that was brought to the attention of the department and had been resolved. Shop stewards had been monitoring at various examination centres and to date had no major problems to report. Although protest action had stopped at the John Taole Gaetsewe District, Saturday classes continued. The relationship with the provinces had since deteriorated but a meeting was planned with the provincial department in the near future. The view of NAPTOSA in respect of the competency testing was that the testing played an important role in the selection of markers. Markers needed to be at a certain level to be eligible to mark. The union received no negative feedback from its members who wrote the competency test. The union also urged the Department to speedily address the issue of the delivery of books to schools.
