King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Basic Education

With reference to the post provisioning norms as set by her department, what number of vacancies still exist in schools?

Reply:

Number of vacancies in schools at the end of September 2019 as reported by the Provincial Education Departments. Although these are reported vacancies that need to be advertised, this does not translate to real vacancies at the schools affected as temporary teachers have been appointed in these posts until they are filled permanently.
