After 28 Years, since the inception of Grade R through, South African School Act (SASA) of 1996. Stipulated the importance of the Early Childhood Development Programme in a new democratic dispensation. Due to ongoing implementation challenges and failures which resulted to constant reviews of the curriculum since 2000 - 2015, which resulted to the Phasing Out of multiple Grade R qualifications; such as NQF Level 4 & 5, Certificate in Educare, National Diploma in Educare, PGDE, Diploma in Grade R Qualification and other.
All of the above is manipulated by the National Development Program (NDP2030), which is an International plan of action, irrelevant to the standards of South Africa and its economy, which seeks to improve the standard of education in a barbaric and inconsiderate manner and processes.
Thousands of Grade R Teachers are literally unemployed in South Africa, at least 11900 Strugglers with Diploma in Grade R Qualifications are without jobs and most are embedded with trauma and depression as a result of education and economic inefficiency.
SGB educators still earn from R2500 - 5000 for the past 10 years, without proper placement and with no benefits whatsoever. No maternity leave, which means the SGB teachers in question must appoint a teacher for a period of maternity leave and pays the teacher from her own stipend.
We have teachers who laboured for 8 to 26 years, teaching our children without UIF and Pension fund contribution.
