Abstract

The redeployment process and the filling of promotional posts in South African schools has been marked by controversy and tumult since the advent of our profound democracy after 1994. Despite the regulatory measures in the form of circulars that spell out the role of teacher unions during the rationalization process as that of observers and not active participants, unions remain a force to be reckoned with within the Department of Basic Education . This conceptual paper focuses on the future and integrity of the teaching profession with the South African education context. It is aimed at rousing debate in the mind of the reader as to whether teacher unions play a progressive role in the future of developing countries or not.
