A new set of regulations will see teachers found guilty of sexual misconduct banned indefinitely from working at any school in SA.
The Basic Education Department (DBE) gazetted a new set of rules for teachers under the Employment of Educators Act last week Friday.
The new terms and conditions of employment for educators outline a range of sanctions for various categories of teacher misconduct.
The teaching bans range from one year up to a lifetime depending on the offence they are found guilty of.
Teachers will face indefinite bans if they are found having sexual relations with a learner or if they are convicted of crimes such as murder, rape, and assault in a court of law.
