Some teachers in SA: "we don't know how to teach, we need training" *implements training* "training is so inconvenient. We won't attend!"

@NtataiseSA Bet he spoke all about his little daughter, but not about how he divorced his wife. He gets amazing speaking opportunities like this because he’s a semi-absent father.

Our keynote speaker is @KalimRajab. Kalim has a distinguished CV. He's a social justice commentator, trustee of the @HelenSuzmanFdn and member of the Press Council of SA. He is moved by, and has high praise for, the rural work Ntataise does in the midst of such grinding poverty.

@FordIndia @ZEEJaipurLitFes So who won the #FardSamvad competition?

Schools are closing soon. Let's hope learners have been inspired to do something constructive this holiday... Instead of drinking and sex.

@agentjanty was saying the same at a conference recently. Education conference with no speakers which were teachers. Only old white men

Don't you hate it when you go to a teaching conference and there aren't any (keynote) speakers which are teachers. Only old white men.

@SekoloSB please release a statement on the firing of your principal.

Disappointed to find out that many public schools ended a few days ago instead of tomorrow as per 4 term schools.

@CollinsMandy wait, that's the wrong way around. She should be waking YOU with tea.

School tomorrow! I wonder how many teachers will be going to school fully prepared, and how many will have a hangover?

Technology in schools means we’ve lost the battle against proper teaching and the world is clearly going to pot. josepicardo.com/2013/10/on-cag…

Getting closer to the ANA's! Have you almost finished the curriculum? What are you doing to prepare your learners?

The proliferation of "education conferences" is astounding. Some are great, while others are an excuse to sell expensive goods. Discuss.

Did you go to Africa EduWeek? How was it?

Looking forward to AMESA this week. Who else is going to be there? #edchatsa #sateachers
