As part of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Presidential Employment Stimulus Program, the basic education sector aims to create 200,000 job opportunities for education assistants and 100,000 for general school assistants.
This, according to the department, will be achieved through the Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI).
Provincial departments of education have already started posting advertisements to recruit qualified candidates for this initiative using a wide variety of media platforms. Interested parties are urged to keep an eye out for announcements in all provinces.
The BEEI seeks to address the academic disruptions from Covid-19, as well as some of the persistent systemic challenges.
Education assistants will support teachers in the classroom and provide additional support to students. School assistants general will help schools comply with Covid-19 protocols while ensuring that teaching and learning take place in a safe and hygienic environment.
The 300,000 job opportunities are aimed at young people between 18 and 35 years old.
Recruitment will take place at the community level, and schools will need to prioritize candidates who live close to the school.
“An orientation manual has been developed and digitized to ensure that young people are trained in their roles and responsibilities.
“In addition, several training programs have been prepared to equip selected candidates with the skills that will ensure that they are prepared to take on their duties and that they gain significant experience to improve their employability, beyond participating in the BEEI,” he said the Department. said.
Young people will begin working in public schools across the country starting December 1, 2020.
DBE has partnered with the Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator to digitize the hiring processes in the provinces.
“Through this partnership, candidates will be able to apply for job opportunities through SAYouth.mobi.
“An added benefit for young people who register on the mobisite will be that they will have access to many other job opportunities, linked to their education, skills and experiences.
“SA Youth uses the data from each job seeker to match them to opportunities, and as they gain experience and skills, it presents them with more opportunities,” the department said.
Access to BEEI employment opportunities can be done through this website. This is a zero fee mobile site that can be accessed via a mobile phone. Candidates without internet access can call 0800 727272, which is a toll-free number.
