TSM and its self-disrespected policies :: Mmegi Online

Could some one please help me understand the rot behind Teaching Service Management (TSM)? If it is true that a new senior secondary school to be opened in 2008 in Borolong was appointed a school head with a diploma qualification, then DCEC (the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime) and DPSM (Department of Placement and Student Management) need to work harder to change the mind set of the TSM Director.

It is even known that the Minster of Education changed the advertisement of the post and waived the requirements to cater for this particular head because he had personally phoned and promised him the post as a party activist. Events like this one do not promote the spirit of competition, hard work let alone productivity.

If indeed the head was promoted because of alleged good academic performance, why his teachers cannot be promoted to senior schools as well irrespective of their qualifications is a proof of favouritism? Are we to believe that efforts of us teachers are not recognised to an extent that we need not to be promoted with our diplomas to teach in senior schools?
