The Gauteng Department of Education tasked a special team of officials to investigate whether Glenvista High School’s SGB is effectively doing its job. The school has been plagued with incidents of violence between teachers and learners.
According to SowetanLIVE, the team, which includes officials from the MEC of Educatio Matome Chiloane’s office, will deal with the violence and conflict that erupted from the school. This was after a grade 9 pupil and his teacher got into a viral fight.
The team will also probe the SGB’s effectiveness in dealing with acts of violence and enforcing the school’s code of conduct. The National Association of School Governing Bodies’ spokesperson, Matakanye Matakanya, believed that failing to implement the school’s code of conduct may have contributed to the eruption of violence at the school.
