Abstract: The education crisis and ineffectiveness of the Teachers' Association of South Africa (TASA) led to the formation of the Progressive Teachers League (PTL) in 1986 under the repressive conditions of the State of Emergency. It reflects the increasing militancy of teacher organisations and the impact of the education crisis during this period.
