|June 13, 2025
BASIC Education Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, is cleaning house as she instructs all MECs and heads of provincial education departments to submit comprehensive plans addressing irregularities in school personnel management.
This comes just as the Western Cape will welcome 19000 new teaching assistants.
DA Western Cape spokesperson on Education, Leon van Wyk, said they welcome the 19000 new teaching assistant positions in schools, focusing on vulnerable areas to improve academics and provide jobs.
"By placing 19000 teacher assistants in vulnerable schools, we are not just tackling youth unemployment, but also directly enhancing the quality of education," he said.
In her plight to clean up her house, Gwarube has started rigorous oversight and has called for a completed recovery plan, which must be submitted ahead of the next Council of Education Ministers (CEM) meeting, scheduled for July 21.
