Motsepe, Ms CCS to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What are the relevant details of the steps she has taken to employ more teachers in KwaZuluNatal where there is a shortage?
Reply:
In terms of the Employment of Educators Act, 1998 the Member of Executive Council (MEC) responsible for Education is required, on an annual basis, to create educator posts based on available funds. The Head of Department is then required to distribute the posts created to schools using the post provisioning norms.
The Honourable Member is therefore, respectfully requested to direct the question to the MEC responsible for Education in Kwazulu-Natal.
