JOHANNESBURG - The Human Rights Commission will carry out equality and diversity training at Crawford College in Pretoria.

It follows a viral video of a teacher writing racial slurs, including the K-word, on the whiteboard of a Grade 8 class.

The 82-year-old teacher has been dismissed and may be deregistered by the SA Council of Educators.

The commission says it's encouraging that the pupils were able to stand up for themselves.

"What we would do is that we would support the school through the commission advocacy programme," said Zamantungwa Mbeki.

 

"I think one thing to note from this is video is something that we should give kudos to the learners who realised that something not good was happening and they were actually on their own."
