Ceza, Mr K to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether invigilators have been paid their salaries for the December 2021 examinations period; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
All Provincial Education Departments have paid their invigilators, except for two PEDs, where there are outstanding payments. In the case of the Western Cape, 22 of the 2007 invigilators that were appointed have not been paid. The 22 outstanding payments emanate from administrative issues relating to incorrect banking details, awaiting deceased estate details, and individuals blocked on Persal due to different reasons. In the Eastern Cape, 594 of the 1192 invigilators have not been paid, due to incomplete or late submission of documents by the invigilators. However, this has now been finalised and the outstanding payments were made.
