The DA has challenged the Eastern Cape Education Department to fill 1 974 teaching posts at government schools. The department said the vacancies would be addressed by no later than 31 August. The Eastern Cape Education Portfolio Committee has expressed outrage over this situation, which it said cripples teaching and learning.The provincial education department runs just over 5 000 schools.
The department recently filled 100 intern teaching vacancies and advertised 379 office-based vacancies. They include posts for 380 principals, 39 deputy principals, 272 heads of department and 692 teachers, as well as top-sliced posts.According to Hendricks, the department has decreased the number of educators employed in the province from 53 605 in 2022/23 to 52 817 in 2023/24 due to financial constraints."Not only are learners drastically affected, but vacant posts also put extra pressure on schools and educators.
