[Civsoc-mw] [BwalolaAphunzitsi] Diploma has expired as far as secondary school teaching is concern

Wed Sep 19 12:41:42 CAT 2018

At some future age, both primary school teachers and secondary school
teachers will be degree holders, with just this difference: the degree for
primary school teachers will be on Early Education; for secondary schools,
well, on secondary education; teachers handling pupils with disabilities
will have degrees in education for the disabled. It's never too early to
start preparing for such a future.
