Today I came across an interesting article concerning the state planning to license teachers http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/western-cape/state-plans-to-license-teachers-2015513. I have mixed views concerning this particular article. In a sense, it is a good idea to ensure that the level of professionalism increases amongst teachers and assist in improving the quality of education in schools. In another sense, I also feel that teachers have many issues to deal with and this might add on to it in terms of obtaining the license. However, the issue is up for debate and I will certainly continue to follow the story as it progresses.
I do agree with what they want to implement as it would be a good thing to have a license as teacher as it will result in quality education for all but what about those who have been teaching for many years.Many will feel that the Government is questioning their profession and their experience.
