Handleiding Rondom Rassisme en ander vorme van Onbillike Diskriminasie
Die bestuur van diverse individue is ‘n uitdaging waarmee skole al dekades lank mee gekonfronteer word en dit blyk vanuit die mees onlangse media dekking op Pretoria High School for Girls, dat dit steeds ‘n reuse probleem is.
Artikel 9, die eerste reg wat in die handves van regte gelys word, beskerm 'n individu se reg op gelykheid. Gelykheid soos omskryf in artikel 9(2), sluit die volle en gelyke genieting van regte en vryhede in. Dit is dus verstaanbaar waarom die verbod op onbillike diskriminasie ingeskryf is en ‘n oortreding van hierdie verbod kan lei tot ernstige gevolge.
Die SAOU het ‘n handleiding rondom rasissme en ander vorme van onbillike diskriminasie opgestel met die doel om skole by te staan in die voorkoming van onbillike diskriminasie. Ons moedig Skoolhoofde asook Skoolbeheerliggame aan om hierdie handeling te gebruik as ‘n redelike voorsorgmaatreël tot aantyging van onbillike diskriminasie.
Toegang tot die handleiding is op die SAOU Online in hoofstuk 1.3.1 van die MSM (Manual for School Management).

Manual On Racism and other forms of Unfair
Discrimination
The management of diverse individuals is a challenge that schools have been confronted with for decades and from the most recent media coverage on Pretoria High School for Girls, it appears to still be a major problem.
Section 9, the first right listed in the bill of rights, protects an individual's right to equality. Equality as described in section 9(2), includes the full and equal enjoyment of rights and freedoms. It is therefore understandable that the prohibition of unfair discrimination is inscribed and a violation of same can lead to serious consequences.
The SAOU has drawn up a manual on racism and other forms of unfair discrimination with the aim of assisting schools in preventing unfair discrimination. We encourage Principals as well as School Governing Bodies to use this manual as a reasonable precautionary measure for allegations of unfair discrimination.
Access to this manual is in the SAOU Online in chapter 1.3.1 of the MSM (Manual for School Management).
