NAPTOSA: New Hires will Stabilise KZN Education
Teachers Union NAPTOSA says the appointment of hundreds of educators will help stabilise KZN education.
Over one-thousand-five-hundred [1530] entry level teacher posts have been filled since January.
The Department the posts were left vacant due to retirements, deaths, promotions and resignations.
Naptosa's Therona Moodley has welcomed the move, adding no teacher posts should be vacant in schools:
She said the appointments will ease the burden on teacher and administrative work.

"This does all well for the Department of Education and more so it also offers some job security to those educators who are temporally or substituting for a long period of time.
"But we also wanna see all appointments being made immediately when the vacancy arises, and we really don't want the department to wait for a number of years to collect a host of vacancies before having been advertised and filled," said Moodley.
She said for now this is a step in the right direction.
