The state of SA schools

South African schools can be a place of great learning, depending on what type of school it is. Recent studies show that some government schools tend to do more poorly than private IEB-run schools. A look at the pass rates for the different modes of education adds to the case. One thing that has popped up of late are educators who moonlight as TikTokkers.

Many teachers across South Africa, and even the world for that matter, share the fun and sweet moments of their teaching lives. Some teachers from Mzansi take it further and co-ordinate dance clips with their pupils. Overall, South African teachers can find the joy in education even if the climate of it isn't so great at the moment.

Netizens across the country gave some hilarious jokes about the young foundation phase assistant. Read the comments below:
