As was indicated previously, the Department is currently implementing the Teacher Profiling project which aims to capture systematically qualifications and areas of specialisation for all teachers. Only once all information has been captured and verified will the Department be in a position to provide the response. The end of December 2015 has been set as a point at which information captured will be downloaded and verified for the completeness of capturing. The next step will be to verify the accuracy of the information captured.
