NIGHT FALL

This is a comment from one of the Parent: Definitely. If parents see their kid making a disastrous choice, they should do what they can to avert it. Too many immature kids get married when they shouldn’t. It’s their parents’ task to be on the lookout for that and to do what they can (usually not much unfortunately).

The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU), the largest union in the education and public service sectors, pays homage to all teachers, lecturers in institutions of higher learning, Early Childhood Development practitioners, education support personnel and her members in particular as the world commemorates World Teachers’ Day on 05 October.

The day celebrates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers which sets standards regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers and the standards for their initial training and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. In 1997, the Recommendation was amended to cover the status of teaching personnel in higher education.

South Africa, September 30, 2021: A new launch at the 6th Annual Decent Standard of Living Colloquium today demonstrates that there are 34 Socially Perceived Necessities defined as needs, common to the majority of South Africans from all walks of life, to achieve a dignified life for all.

The Decent Standard of Living Measure, first piloted in 2006, was conducted telephonically among a representative sample in five South African provinces over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. It determined that South Africans across a spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds viewed 21 Socially Perceived Necessities (SPNs) as a benchmark for a decent standard of living.

The future of South Africa is in the hands of our youth, many of whom are living with little hope; and yet they are filled with potential. However, South Africa is currently faced with an unacceptably high unemployment rate among youth who make up 35,7% of the population, of that percentage, 8,5 million (41,7%) youth are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET).

If the youth are our future, how can we shape and better prepare them for tomorrow’s opportunities in a relevant way?

A woman who is or who has been treated for cancer will likely have concerns and questions about sexuality and sexual activity. It is common for women with cancer to struggle with their body image, have less desire for sexual intimacy, and/or find that penetration during sexual activity has become painful. Sexuality is a normal and important aspect of health. You should not hesitate to talk about your feelings or ask questions about the impact of cancer treatments on your sexual health. This article attempts to answer common questions that arise but certainly does not address every question. As with any concern, talk with your health care providers about your particular situation.

Families are not democracies. Each family has its own ways of deciding who has the power and authority within the family unit, and which rights, privi­leges, obligations, and roles are assigned to each family member.

In most families parents are expected to be the leaders or executives of the family; children are expected to follow the leadership of their parents. As chil­dren in the middle years grow older, they will ask for, and certainly should be allowed, more autonomy, and their opinions should be considered when deci­sions are made; however, parents are the final authorities.
