The motion was in response to concerns regarding the transformation of SASMT membership expressed by the Durban and Ekurhuleni Centres.
Proposed that
“Nationally and in each regional centre, a task team, committee or other structure be convened with a mandate to investigate and report back on the following:
- (a) Whether a more direct approach should be made to the heads of schools, arts and music centres, music educators and teachers in order to establish what their expectations and needs are;
- (b) The reasons why music teachers at schools in previously disadvantaged communities do not join the SASMT;
- (c) The reasons why music teachers, especially those in previously disadvantaged communities, who join the SASMT, frequently allow their membership to lapse.”
