@DBE_SA #MyTeacher i hereby nominate L.I.S Sosibo from Kudung Middle School for the National teachers award. With our immense working conditions as farm school, Mam Sosibo uses the little resources we have to make Physical Education memorable for our learners.

@DBE_SA Just pay those teachers better salaries. That's will be a good motivation to keep on going extra mile.

@DBE_SA Ungangxami kakhulu Sisi, one thing at a time. Am sure there are pertinent issues you need to start with before talking awards. 1. Conditions at which teachers work in 2. Safety at schools 3. infrastructure at rural schools. I like your work, but be careful not to be everywhere.

@DBE_SA Stop WC and KZN from retrenching teachers.We see this as a very counter-revolutionary move,to disempower our teachers!

@DBE_SA Minister, please come through to private schools. We are being treated unfairly, where I work we haven't been paid since June.

@DBE_SA Please Minister review teacher salaries ,they earning peanuts, look Osd for teachers ,bring back senior teacher incentives ,rural allowance. I am sure teachers would be motivated

@DBE_SA Hi, does one need to still be in school and does the teacher need to be currently teaching to participate? For instance, if I went to high school from 2010-2015 and I've been out of school for 5 years and the teacher is retired.

@DBE_SA

@DBE_SA Good! Perhaps a category of retired teachers must be considered too
