DA want answers over KZN’s 800 vacant senior posts at schools
7 December 2016
The Democratic Alliance will today submit a written parliamentary question to KZN’s Education MEC, Mthandeni Dlungwana to establish the reasons for as many as 800 vacant senior posts at schools in the province.
According to a media report yesterday, the positions include heads of department, deputy principals and principals that are yet to be announced despite a mass recruitment drive earlier this year.
The situation has left both educators and schools in a state of uncertainty and is threatening to disrupt the start of the 2017 academic year.
The DA is extremely disappointed by this revelation. Our province’s schools cannot afford to have critical posts unfilled. Nor can any of them afford to start the 2017 academic year unprepared.
