The United Unemployed Educators will today picket outside Parliament over the unemployment of teachers.more than 30 000 posts are still vacant countrywideMotshekga said filling of vacant posts at schools is an ongoing process to ensure that there is no class without a teacher for all the grades.
Mhlanga says, “In education whenever someone departs, someone will act in that position and then the position will be advertised and that’s a process that happens at any given time. So when the question came at the time it was asked, the minister answered it in that way because, at that time, that was the number of posts that were still being processed, to get the people acting in those positions permanently employed.
