CLARIFICATION on the "Performance Management System (PMS) Workshop" organized by Mliba Cluster of Schools

The allegation that EPA organised a workshop on the forthcoming Performance Management System is false and constitutes nothing more than propaganda intended to mislead members and tarnish our Association's reputation.

Information available indicates that the Inspection Tools workshop in question was organised under the auspices of the MLIBA CLUSTER OF SCHOOLS and facilitated by officials from the Inspectorate Department of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Everyone, including those responsible for circulating this misinformation, know very well that EPA only organises professional development activities for its members (School Principals and Deputy Principals).

Members are therefore urged to disregard these baseless and misleading allegations and to rely only on official EPA communication for accurate information.

M. Masilela,
General Secretary.
