Helen Zille says it's time for "militant intervention" in education - but not by unions.

The Western Cape premier, who is heading for a showdown with the SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) over plans to introduce performance contracts for principals in the province, wants to tackle declining literacy and numeracy rates "head-on".

While spending on education was important, it wasn't enough, Zille said in her weekly online newsletter, South Africa Today.

She said prioritising quality teaching - "even if it means interventions that do not find favour with powerful interest groups - must be non-negotiable". [full]
