It would seem that the 31,000 vacant posts are currently filled by contract teachers. There is no security for these teachers as they can be let go at the end of their contract. I don’t believe a qualified teacher should be offered a contract post. If they can afford to pay them, then they can make the post permanent. I don’t think he wanted to admit on TV how many actual vacant posts exist. They hide the number by increasing the size of classes.

After that, many children actually choose English, possibly because of American influence, I don’t know. As you say, children should be able to study any of the official languages. The problem though, is that we don’t have enough qualified teachers for that. Perhaps online teaching in the classroom could solve that problem for older students. I get back to, we have too many official languages in SA. There is no easy answer because we’re facing education funding cuts. The WC is eliminating 2,400 contract teacher posts in 2025. The BELA Act now provides for compulsory grade R. So we have another year of compulsory schooling to fund. I wonder where the money is going to come from.
We are too soft towards Afrikaans powers, we have English as the medium of instruction and all native learners struggle until they pass English but Afrikaans is just moving through. Lets be fair and put Afrikaans in its place, lets all be equal guys, otherwise we will all have to switch the entire schooling system and teach Maths in our native languages, that will be equal and fair.
I wonder if PGCE Teachers are included in that 32.000.. plus we also have private colleges that offer teachin... is teaching really in demand like we are told?
Education is education and on choice not so? There for each person and thus group(s), instatutions has those power as no one may limit education on an agreement of instatutions or groups. The more groups instatutions the more educated people of a wider culture range for a better social freedom and self determenatuon under SA Laws and social concepts there will be.😊
I agree with bill on SGB not on language but acceptance. Government must look at the high school fees ,teachers that are appointed but can't teach the subject they are appointed for just to keep other teachers out.
Im not sure what the big deal is about this Afrikaans thing. I went to a school where you could learn everything either in Afrikaans or English. The question is why must Afrikaans have this special treatment. Im Zulu and would have loved to learn everything in my mother tongue and im sure this is true of others with their mother togues. Afrikaaners need to accept that they are not more special than the other SA languages. Just pick Afrikaans as a 1st or 2nd additional like the rest of us do with our mother tongues. English is most common language for us all and one that wouldn't start a civil war if we had to choose a single language. Get over it.
@@okuhtttf Stop please stop with the selective outrage. If a school is private it's private by choice. Why start a private school and expect the government to fund it as they do with public schools. In the public schools in I know of including the ones I have attended we had a A class (Afrikaans only) and E ( English only) classes. That is unfair for Afrikaans to receive that special treatment and if it continues it will lead to having Z classes for Zulu and X classes for Xhosa. And let's be honest that that would be disastrous. So we must all learn in English as a home language only because it's a global language of communication then the other languages can be taken as 1st, 2nd or 3rd additional language. Afrikaners love to separate themselves from the rest of the country and then cry victimhood if things don't go your way. If you have chosen to establish a private school that only caters in the Afrikaans language then cool but don't expect the privileges reserved for public schools
@@nontuthukon1322 but whatever anything the government does it break down and not build. Everything from SAA to Eskom to the postal service and our train network and our roads and our hospitals and our economy and our food prices gets worse and worse but people still support ANC.

This bill is there to help these jokers get even more money to support their rich lifestyles and will do so without any care or consequences.
They really need to chill. The schools in my area offer isiZulu and Sesotho. This hasn't caused any problems. Children in the schools know both languages as a result.
@@okuhtttf I understand what I'm saying very clearly, you just don't want to accept the reality of how things are now. Sure Afrikaners marched, whatever. If they choose to hold the status of private school then that is their democratic right but everything has consequences and here it's that you cannot enjoy the same privileges as the public schools. The Zulu and Xhosa and other languages could have their own schools, yes. But we all seem to understand that SA needs to function as a unit whereas Afrikaners want to be special and act like victims. We learn in school in English but have managed to preserve our cultures and languages. Why can't you do the same?. I'll tell you why it's because Afrikaners just hate to function in a society with people who are not their own. They want to isolate themselves instead of embracing the new status quo and reality of the country they live in. The reason you put so much emphasis on controlling personal and student is this very reason. Get off your high horse and join the society of SA as a unit.
@@fullmetaltheorist That's what I'm saying. I am yet to meet a child that was taught in English and is unable to learn their mother tongue and about their culture. Unless the parents deliberately choose to deprive their kids of their home language and culture.
Contract does not have benefits which comes with permanent posts, and its long term commitment, that's why they say there is no money because the budget is not committed
The ANC did not build schools in EC, or they built them half way. A lot of those EC kids now go to school in WC. The DA built schools, more are needed, but at least they built more than the other provinces. The ANC knew their province where they rule those kids are going to school in the DA province so they approved the budget to at least appoint most of the teachers to teach the kids. Now they start to tell WC we'll give you half, you cant appoint the temps, well knowing they let their province people flee here because the schools in EC were falling apart or not built. Those teachers they want to appont in EC in what school buildings are they going to teach? What is ANC planning?
What are the direct solutions to handling learning who abuse the edicators, unruly behaviour of learners that makes it impossible gpr teachers to continue with their lessons. Dont want our kids to turn into our worst nightmare

I wonder how old is Prof Metcalf, phela hundred years ago learning Zulu in primary they would say "Ngokuka Metcalf" I didn't even know what was that....
soooo there are available posts and there are graduates sitting at home or working at retailers who are qualified for these positions and we say we have a shortage ? make it make sense how does that happen
That's not true. The current teacher's that we having now each classroom consists about 120 learners while the system says 45 perclassroom. Our classes are congested. We need more classroom n more teachers.
They want to build billion dollar schools and tell surrounding communities its exclusive for one language, now this bill is a nightmare to them because the gov may add a language policy, and ensure their admission policy is in line with the constitution. The school is by Akademie, and Afriforum is a backer of it. This is why they are spreading this misinformation about it.
Temporal teachers all the time,why?These piple can't take insurance,can't budget like our politicians do.Cant buy cars and bonds for them bcoz they are not employed this way.
Children not in school equal to jail time - does that count for sick and injured children unable to go to school , when roads are blocked in rural communities and your kid is unable to go to school are you going to go to jail, if you live far from town and your vehicle breaks on the way to school will you be criminally charged 🤔
The teachers are loaded, no free periods, can't do admin and sometimes the classes is 60+ in class. Also according to dept, is ratio like 30 plus per teacher. Yet there is some times when 1 class is split into 4 subjects. Then 1 split is 5 x learners and take the same period as 40 others. Meaning the teacher appointed was employed per class ratio not with all subjects per learner. Language's and math's the biggest problem as well as class doing physics. It is sad truly to witness this trying to cope and working out time table. Esp the suburbs and the schools where there is only 150 pupils and 8 teachers in high school. This with 11 subjects. To spread these 8 teachers.
The Bela Bill will only be possible if in those Grades Free Education is implemented. Because if Free Education is not implemented while the penalties will be imposed to them, how are the parents going to afford the school fees, the uniforms, etc, while some parents are struggling right now with absolutely everything, because it is difficult for them to get the right jobs? Only Free Education will make sure that the parents, their children are at school every BLOODY day. Without doing that just forget about the penalties you are talking about.
Why there is shortage of money? If so, why did the previous government proceeded encouraging/allowing learners to persuit the faculty of education, where is logic there?
R16 billion to implement the bill, bit the department has no monies....what!? And is at a backfall of about 30 000 teacher positions that needs to be filled?! Has logics left the room?

Because we can’t afford it. The tax base is too small. 75% of workers in SA earn less than R6,000 per month and therefore don’t pay personal income tax. High earners, who subsidise the 26 million people on social grants, are leaving the country.

The problem though, is that we don’t have enough qualified teachers for that. Perhaps online teaching in the classroom could solve that problem for older students.
I get back to, we have too many official languages in SA.
There is no easy answer because we’re facing education funding cuts.
The WC is eliminating 2,400 contract teacher posts in 2025.
The BELA Act now provides for compulsory grade R. So we have another year of compulsory schooling to fund. I wonder where the money is going to come from.
What about the schools government want to close? How many schools are they going to close or want to close?
We are too soft towards Afrikaans powers, we have English as the medium of instruction and all native learners struggle until they pass English but Afrikaans is just moving through. Lets be fair and put Afrikaans in its place, lets all be equal guys, otherwise we will all have to switch the entire schooling system and teach Maths in our native languages, that will be equal and fair.
There is no maths written in African language even if it is there will be no maths in African language at tertiary let alone abroad
Afrikaners is prosperous. You just jealous that we keep our facilities maintained.
If there is no budget to hire these teachers, where will the R16b to implement the bill come from??
Million $ question 😊
That goes into their pockets in terms of contracts and tenders but paying teachers is what is a problem to them because they are not getting anything
....and NHI Bill needs billions to implement too
I wonder if PGCE Teachers are included in that 32.000.. plus we also have private colleges that offer teachin... is teaching really in demand like we are told?
Education is education and on choice not so? There for each person and thus group(s), instatutions has those power as no one may limit education on an agreement of instatutions or groups. The more groups instatutions the more educated people of a wider culture range for a better social freedom and self determenatuon under SA Laws and social concepts there will be.😊
Many dont see it that way sadly
I agree with bill on SGB not on language but acceptance. Government must look at the high school fees ,teachers that are appointed but can't teach the subject they are appointed for just to keep other teachers out.
Im not sure what the big deal is about this Afrikaans thing. I went to a school where you could learn everything either in Afrikaans or English. The question is why must Afrikaans have this special treatment. Im Zulu and would have loved to learn everything in my mother tongue and im sure this is true of others with their mother togues. Afrikaaners need to accept that they are not more special than the other SA languages. Just pick Afrikaans as a 1st or 2nd additional like the rest of us do with our mother tongues. English is most common language for us all and one that wouldn't start a civil war if we had to choose a single language. Get over it.
@@okuhtttf Stop please stop with the selective outrage. If a school is private it's private by choice. Why start a private school and expect the government to fund it as they do with public schools. In the public schools in I know of including the ones I have attended we had a A class (Afrikaans only) and E ( English only) classes. That is unfair for Afrikaans to receive that special treatment and if it continues it will lead to having Z classes for Zulu and X classes for Xhosa. And let's be honest that that would be disastrous. So we must all learn in English as a home language only because it's a global language of communication then the other languages can be taken as 1st, 2nd or 3rd additional language. Afrikaners love to separate themselves from the rest of the country and then cry victimhood if things don't go your way. If you have chosen to establish a private school that only caters in the Afrikaans language then cool but don't expect the privileges reserved for public schools
@@nontuthukon1322 but whatever anything the government does it break down and not build. Everything from SAA to Eskom to the postal service and our train network and our roads and our hospitals and our economy and our food prices gets worse and worse but people still support ANC. This bill will most definitely also ruin EVERYONES education and make our country an even better joke. This bill is there to help these jokers get even more money to support their rich lifestyles and will do so without any care or consequences.
They really need to chill. The schools in my area offer isiZulu and Sesotho. This hasn't caused any problems. Children in the schools know both languages as a result.
@@okuhtttf I understand what I'm saying very clearly, you just don't want to accept the reality of how things are now. Sure Afrikaners marched, whatever. If they choose to hold the status of private school then that is their democratic right but everything has consequences and here it's that you cannot enjoy the same privileges as the public schools. The Zulu and Xhosa and other languages could have their own schools, yes. But we all seem to understand that SA needs to function as a unit whereas Afrikaners want to be special and act like victims. We learn in school in English but have managed to preserve our cultures and languages. Why can't you do the same?. I'll tell you why it's because Afrikaners just hate to function in a society with people who are not their own. They want to isolate themselves instead of embracing the new status quo and reality of the country they live in. The reason you put so much emphasis on controlling personal and student is this very reason. Get off your high horse and join the society of SA as a unit.
@@fullmetaltheorist That's what I'm saying. I am yet to meet a child that was taught in English and is unable to learn their mother tongue and about their culture. Unless the parents deliberately choose to deprive their kids of their home language and culture.
Contract does not have benefits which comes with permanent posts, and its long term commitment, that's why they say there is no money because the budget is not committed
The ANC did not build schools in EC, or they built them half way. A lot of those EC kids now go to school in WC. The DA built schools, more are needed, but at least they built more than the other provinces. The ANC knew their province where they rule those kids are going to school in the DA province so they approved the budget to at least appoint most of the teachers to teach the kids. Now they start to tell WC we'll give you half, you cant appoint the temps, well knowing they let their province people flee here because the schools in EC were falling apart or not built. Those teachers they want to appont in EC in what school buildings are they going to teach? What is ANC planning?
Do u have any proof to back up wat your saying
What are the direct solutions to handling learning who abuse the edicators, unruly behaviour of learners that makes it impossible gpr teachers to continue with their lessons. Dont want our kids to turn into our worst nightmare
This budget is not only for hiring educators but for funding all aspects of education department. This includes support staff, LTSM, workshops, office based educators etc. Samkelo is clueless
He has a clue. He just singulates what he wants people to hear. For me, I'm caught halfway with this bill
Maaka Elijah, there are people who have been temporary for more than 2 years. No teachers are employed on daily basis
Arrest parents who allow their children to be absent for no reason!!
Clouded bedmoses 6vs 6 states "stupid people must suffer "
They should have limited Powers of SGBs over school budgets as well.
I wonder how old is Prof Metcalf, phela hundred years ago learning Zulu in primary they would say "Ngokuka Metcalf" I didn't even know what was that....
soooo there are available posts and there are graduates sitting at home or working at retailers who are qualified for these positions and we say we have a shortage ? make it make sense how does that happen
There is no budget to hire the qualified graduates
So what is going to happen with this qualified teachers not working sitting at home unemployed
Class rooms is already over crowded is their extra classes in schools to accommodate al these thousands of gr r.
Another problem seems to be the shortage of classes, why don't we build new schools?
Why are they letting 2400. Teachers go.
Employ parents and force them to take their kids to schools. schools also needs budget from parents
That's not true. The current teacher's that we having now each classroom consists about 120 learners while the system says 45 perclassroom. Our classes are congested. We need more classroom n more teachers.
They want to build billion dollar schools and tell surrounding communities its exclusive for one language, now this bill is a nightmare to them because the gov may add a language policy, and ensure their admission policy is in line with the constitution. The school is by Akademie, and Afriforum is a backer of it. This is why they are spreading this misinformation about it.
If educators are needed why is the teachers been laid off in western cape
Ask the DA
Temporal teachers all the time,why?These piple can't take insurance,can't budget like our politicians do.Cant buy cars and bonds for them bcoz they are not employed this way.
Well tell your goverment to stop the after party and concentrate on the education of our children
The DA will protect it's own people GNU 😂😂😂 let the games begin!
😂😂😂😂
40?Go to townships Even 60+ in the classroom and half are illegal immigrants children without birth certificates.
I know gogo's who doesn't send schools for their kid's
Give the ANC another 30 years and we'll all be living like zimbabweans
Please admit when you are wrong. You had a wrong understanding of the term 'vacancy.' Take the lesson and stop being defensive. We all learn everyday.
Did the pres go through this bill before signing it??can the country afford this??worse when kids stayed away while the parents are at work unaware??
They should put a third black language in the schools.
What is going on our young teachers are leaving cape town to go and teach over seas
Children not in school equal to jail time - does that count for sick and injured children unable to go to school , when roads are blocked in rural communities and your kid is unable to go to school are you going to go to jail, if you live far from town and your vehicle breaks on the way to school will you be criminally charged 🤔
So, Mhlanga essentially said your "explain & verify" is packaging lies?
Iyaphapha le Journalist jho and clueless imagine coming live thinking you know with all 😅
31 000 teacher vacancies yet the ANC has cut the education budget? Not enough money for teacher salaries ? #VoetsekANC
The teachers are loaded, no free periods, can't do admin and sometimes the classes is 60+ in class. Also according to dept, is ratio like 30 plus per teacher. Yet there is some times when 1 class is split into 4 subjects. Then 1 split is 5 x learners and take the same period as 40 others. Meaning the teacher appointed was employed per class ratio not with all subjects per learner. Language's and math's the biggest problem as well as class doing physics. It is sad truly to witness this trying to cope and working out time table. Esp the suburbs and the schools where there is only 150 pupils and 8 teachers in high school. This with 11 subjects. To spread these 8 teachers.
But there are teachers & graduates sitting in location 😅😅😅😅
The Bela Bill will only be possible if in those Grades Free Education is implemented. Because if Free Education is not implemented while the penalties will be imposed to them, how are the parents going to afford the school fees, the uniforms, etc, while some parents are struggling right now with absolutely everything, because it is difficult for them to get the right jobs? Only Free Education will make sure that the parents, their children are at school every BLOODY day. Without doing that just forget about the penalties you are talking about.
Why there is shortage of money? If so, why did the previous government proceeded encouraging/allowing learners to persuit the faculty of education, where is logic there?
Yet another total ANC failure. #VoetsekANC
We will never have shortages of teachers bayaxoka aba graduate are tired now
Eish my sister doesn't understand Elijah, we need more teachers to meet teacher ratio
R16billion needed for this bill but the teachers in western cape is going to get laid off .
Foolishness at its best 👌
R16 billion to implement the bill, bit the department has no monies....what!? And is at a backfall of about 30 000 teacher positions that needs to be filled?!
Has logics left the room?
How about teachers safety?
Nothing wrong with homeschooling!
I thought this was democracy how can one man just choose on something so personal....did he veto the rest of the peoples aggrievences
What about other specialities?
Let’s get the kids reading and writing first 😊
The guest speaker on virtual platform has shown how Samkelo and general majority of media houses and their journalists fail to do formidable research that contain correct and relevant statistics and facts. The stats and pointers Samkelo presented and his overhaul interpretation was seriously misleading and if it wasn't for the guest, the nation would have ran with Samkelo`s narrative. Journalist must research and bring about relevant information to the public
Schools in township are free
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SCHOOLS.
WHEN CAN WE GET NEW SCHOOLS IN THE SUBURBS......
40 KIDS IN A CLASS IS CRAZY
2025 there will be a shortage of teacher's there is no money? how will you be able to really make this successful ?
Do not settle your evil hatred like Lesufi is doing.
Why can't all the schools be free like universities
Because we can’t afford it.
The tax base is too small.
75% of workers in SA earn less than R6,000 per month and therefore don’t pay personal income tax.
High earners, who subsidise the 26 million people on social grants, are leaving the country.
University is not free!
WHAT IF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WENT INTO BUILDING MORE SCHOOLS THUS EMPLOYING MORE TEACHERS
currently we dont even have running water and electricity in most schools or plumbing so they should fisrt fix what is broken before trying new things that again they dont know where they will get billions
that point on corporal punishment is ridiculous and stupid. Thats why we have such high criminal statistics because there is no discipline or desire to correct wrongs among our children.
DA is leading the country... Ramaphosa sold out
What problem is this bill meant to fix?
This bill won't have any effect on the poor! why ammend it! another pot of money!
The ANC doesn't care about the poor 😂

Samkelo does not want to be corrected🤣😂😅🤣😂😅
At all😂😂
He style of journalism is very wrong.his point scoring
This bill is useless when we still can't enforce the already existing policies. Compulsory grade R will not work in rural areas, 5year olds can't reach to 10km schools.
But a 6 year old can?
So disappointed in you Samkelo. Please read to understand before lying to the people
Existing pit toilets but now grade R? How?
Totally ridiculous!
Can the issue racism also be delt with at Afrikaans school our kids are suffering
Jobs should be compulsory as well
I believe you correct because is one of the reasons why kid's dissapear on the system.because they find out older ones they seating at home with no jobs.they need something to motivate them.all government departments must work together to create jobs. Including private sector.
Vacancy has so many meanings. I get the feeling there is something fishy here with the stats
I am so confused
There are vacancies but there are so many of us who are broke and sitting at home💔it’s been 4 years and still no luck,what a joke
31000 post but qualified people at home looking a jobs
Hayi lo Samkelo .😅
Elijah Mhlanga now bamboolzing evceryone..... Give us the stats ke.....Hes the product of the same education
We the parents not the government rise up parents boicott parents
Why don’t you let us read on our own 😮
Is on they website. I attended this BELLA BILL meeting in the community. The booklets they gave the community and they presentation were not the same as the booklet. They left a lot of information out of the booklet, and people were not happy. They are so scared of parents that they made it during the week, and the announcement was made a few hours before they came to the community. These government officials they always have police around when they have to come and propose things to the communities😂😂😂
