Information for Educators

​

Educators play a significant role in the upliftment and transformation of our society. They bear the weight and responsibility of teaching, and, apart from parents, are the main source of knowledge and values for children.

As an Educator, you are expected to:

​

• acknowledge the noble calling of your profession to educate and train the learners of our country;

• acknowledge that the attitude, dedication, self-discipline, ideals, training and conduct of the teaching profession determine the quality of education in this country;

• acknowledge, uphold and promote basic human rights, as embodied in the Constitution of South Africa;

• commit yourself therefore to do all within your power, in the exercising of your professional duties, to act in accordance with the ideals of your profession, as expressed in the SACE Code of Professioanl Ethics; and

• act in a proper and becoming way such that your behaviour does not bring the teaching profession into disrepute.
