Against the background of what I have just said and considering the theme of this debate one must also consider why there are presently still different educator trade unions operating within the same basic field. The reason for this is not a simplistic one. There will always be ideological differences between individuals resulting in them joining groups sharing the same views held by themselves. This is a natural process whereby the individual associates with those he or she wishes to do so. The answer is obviously yes.
People do differ in their views on many things.
Some may believe firmly in mother tongue education while others do not. Some see shared religious values as important while other may not. The list of examples can go on, but I believe that the few I have mentioned should be sufficient to illustrate the point. We are a country of diverse cultures, languages and religions. This in its own sets particular challenges but at the same time it also gives citizens a wide variety of choices as to how they wish to fulfill their own personal needs individually or in organised groupings.
