SADTU's Nomarashiya Caluza says the increase highlights societal and internal problems.
"For us at SADTU, the problem must be dealt with, especially in society.
"But most importantly, is for the education department to work together with us. Even when doing checks on the teachers. Most of them are young and fresh out of college," she added.
