Rightly said Minister Sivive Gwarube, not taking right decisions at the right time ,together with wasteful funds in corruption, saw the education's sector at a financial crises crossroads. Educators to suffer , pupils even worse off thru budget crises. Too much clean up for GNU ,in education.
How can we create a system whereby we can leverage the supply of new teachers to meet the demand, whilst increasing infrastructure to accomodate the demand
I feel sorry for everyone who is studying towards a BEd qualification and those doing PGCE. Being told in your face that "We wont be filling any vacant positions"
Issue is that the workbooks offer more visually friendly learning for learners. It keeps them interested vs ordinary white paper. Interest means more learning.
This is so sad as there's many of us qualified teachers without work we've been volunteering some SGB post it's tiring to hear such yet schools are short staffed n crowdered
Quite unfortunate situation Silindile. We need to explore how we can take away pressure from public schools, and create our own mini schools. Johannesburg CBD is thriving in this. Many schools in the building to take pressure away from Public schools. But these have to be fee paying schools, essentially semi private/private schools.
Everything that she said is what she should mention in the appeal letter that she should send to whatever department that is responsible for the distribution of funds. However, she may be trying to keep herself out of hot water. They may be holding funds back on her department and she's the person to be blamed.
An easy way to save money would be to “go digital” stop buying paper…when the children start school give them a tablet for all the work part of the school fees….this will also teach the children how to use modern technology….
This is more pragmatic, useful life of Tablets is 2-3 years. If they run the numbers, it looks more expensive to have tablets though. Cost of breakage, theft, school immediately becomes a high risk especially in quintile 1-3 schools, higher security costs, high risk for learners if they are to take the tablets with. Opens up extortion possibilities - "protection fees" which need to be paid by the school so that they dont get broken into, security in the neighborhoods so that learners do not get robbed.
@@Mhlabawakhe This is true but with new governance the crime levels are expected to drop and children going to school with phones should be made possible by our government or South Africa is just a failure, black men and teenagers in the townships should know not to steal from school children, especially black children that are living in informal settlements, they need this kind of technological advancement or the world will leave them behind and they won’t be-able to function in a modern society if they don’t know how to use technology. Also I’m not talking about a cheap tablet that breaks, I’m talking about apple or Samsung that will last 8 years for simple scholar work.
@@Mhlabawakhe Thanks for the bucket of cold water 😊 Unfortunately, you’ve just described reality… I do think that online learning could complement existing teaching, which is generally sub standard. Increasing class sizes is exacerbating the problem. South African education is way behind internationally.
Reduce the number of MP's , scrap of deputies position, scrap of tender systems, the money that is being paid to those many people in parliament should be reduced each must at least get not more than 30k, they are doing nothing they are just there to speak big English and get paid
We need ministers that know the setting of a classroom already there is overcrowding in classrooms. I feel sorry for those who are already employed. I am seeing more retirements from these young teachers because already the headcount per teacher doesnot make sense your educators are already overworked as of this moment how will you help with the pandemic that is already in the system
I wonder why they chose to cut budget on education instead of investing in it we need to change the system n teach more skills from primary we are very doomed as majority of blacks in SA
Main problem here is this bloated GNU cabinet of Ramaphosa with all those useless deputy ministers who need to be paid for doing nothing🤦♂️the poorest of the poor are still going to suffer unfortunately...
South Africa is WAY behind in the education of our children. Angie was useless! She introduced the 30% pass mark for the senior certificate. We have her to blame for the drastic drop in educational standards in SA.
@@bevturner2258do you know that if the pass mark is 50% it means each paper must have 50% of easy questions? Also if 50% is the minimum what would be the requirements for passing and getting your certificate? How many 50s?
@@sandilezulu3973 You know as well as I there would be far fewer pupils who could boast a senior certificate. But no, rather lower the pass mark and boast about the increased number of passes.
@@sandilezulu3973 South African state school education is now a joke. Most of the pupils who excel are those in private schools and some in former Model C schools. There hasn’t been enough money allocated to public schools. Not enough schools built, not enough teachers employed and a useless Minister of education. Recipe for disaster. The government has failed the children of SA.
Let parents pay quarterly, education is important. Let no child grant be paid for school going mothers, let them feel the pinch. Phase out R350 grant for loafers

Me 😢😢😢😢it's my last year
Quite unfortunate, that means the supply of educators needs to stop or reChanneled elsewhere in our Public Tertiary institutions.
The education sector is the most underated sector when it comes to funding, go and look at the last budget. It is the least funded compared to other's
so what is to happen for university students that are still pursuing this degree
Cut "DBE Workbooks" budgets. They're not helpful yet consume a lot of money
And they only work once and teachers are not covering the whole syllabus per term.
Issue is that the workbooks offer more visually friendly learning for learners. It keeps them interested vs ordinary white paper.
Interest means more learning.
Very useless, just for tenders
I've never used those books, not even once
Here to serve her party more than the country .
These many grants are pulling SA down
You got that right!
7 million tax payers and 28 million people receiving social grants.
the DA is strategically throwing her under the bus.
Indeed, this is a political stunt. However it is and wherever it may be rooted from
We seek God's grace and mercy

Tbh Minister's party was never that enthusiastic about state intervention, that's why she's even blaming government for bailing out SOEs
So do you think the money spent on bailing out useless SOEs was money well spent?
