The South African Teachers Union says its 260 000 members will participate in a go-slow on Tuesday to coincide with the re-opening of inland schools.
Sadtu's Mugwena Maluleke says the union is demanding the resignations of the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga and her director general, Bobby Soobrayan.
He says they've failed learners and also continue to undermine collective bargaining in education.
Maluleke says the go-slow means that teachers will only teach for the required hours and won't participate in any other activities.
"This is a continuation of a call that we have made in the last quarter where we have said that collective bargaining is an instrument and strategy to promoet labour peace and education. Anybody who respect education and understand that education is an instrument or a tool to be used to deal with inequality, poverty and unemployment would have to understand the importance of collective bargaining" Maluleke said.
