The 5th of October , World Teachers' Day is a day used to acknowledged and celebrate the service of teachers and their contribution to education. It is an opportunity to consider the challenges related to the teaching profession, and to recognise the rights and responsibilities of the teachers.
While this year marks the 28th
anniversary, the theme is “The Transformation of Education Begins with
Teachers”.
In anticipation of World
Teachers’ Day, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) announced that it
will offer up to 500 qualified Grade R teachers a permanent post with service
benefits from 1 January 2023.
Spokesperson to Minister David
Maynier said that the offer applies to those teachers who are already employed
at a school in a subsidised Grade R position. These teachers must meet the
required teaching qualification in order to be appointed as a Post Level 1
teacher.
The department made a
significant additional investment as the appointment of teachers is expected to
cost approximately R321 million over the next three years. Mauchline said that It adds to the steps they have
already taken to improve Foundation Phase outcomes, such as the additional time
allocated to Reading and Maths to reverse learning losses from the Covid-19
pandemic.
