today16 January, 2024

Background

South African Education activist Hendrick Makaneta says government should find a way to fill all vacant teaching posts in South Africa, particularly level one teaching posts, created by the teachers who went on pension. There are currently more teachers in the country than the education system can accommodate. Makaneta says it cannot be correct for qualified teachers to remain unemployed while there are vacant posts that are funded.
