Enhancing Education System in Gauteng

Speaking at the Regenesys Business School Leadership Conversation, Barbara Creecy, MEC of Education in Gauteng pledged her commitment to ensure that education remains a priority in developing young people in Gauteng.
“Education is vital to the future of the province and success in the country. We cannot just train teachers; we also have to train school managers so that they will be able to do the work that school managers can do. The curriculum must be managed by school managers and they must ensure that the whole curriculum is taught. We have also developed a strategy for teachers to submit their lesson plan before they teach. Some people are good educators but it doesn’t mean they can develop learning materials, etc”.
“The average age of teachers and principals in Gauteng is 40 and 50 years respectively, so very soon we will run out of teachers. We are giving out 13,000 supervisory posts to young people to assist with assignments in school. We want to attract young people in the Education sector”.
“The bottom line is that teachers should be in school at the right time teaching our kids”.
