Today, the Swaziland Association of Teachers (SNAT) visited the Shiselweni regional education offices to advocate for increased funding for education as part of the Go Public Fund Education Campaign. This campaign highlights the urgent crisis facing education in Swaziland and seeks to mobilize public support to pressure the government for change.
The issues outlined include inadequate funding for education, which creates significant challenges for both teachers and students. There is a lack of road infrastructure, particularly in neglected rural areas, making it difficult for students and teachers to reach schools. Teachers have expressed their frustration over stagnant salaries, which prevent them from ‘glowing’ and improving their living conditions. This campaign primarily aims to mobilize support to pressure the current parasitic government. It advocates for the funding of public education, resists privatization, and promotes quality education for all.
The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) stands in solidarity with the Swaziland Association of Teachers (SNAT) in this vital campaign. Education will never receive adequate funding while palaces continue to exist. Teachers and students will struggle to access better jobs and education as long as the monarchy exploits the people of Swaziland to fund its lavish lifestyle. Teachers will never flourish while the monarchy persists in its opulence; the only time teachers will ‘glow’ is when they are in a coffin at SNAT burial.
The CPS economic justice campaign calls on teachers, students, unions, political organizations, and the entire population of Swaziland to support teachers in this critical initiative and to intensify the fight against Mswati’s government. Together, we can work towards a future where quality education is accessible to all, and a better future is socialism, where education and resources are equitably distributed to serve the needs of the people.
