HRD directorate has issued bursaries to both school-based teachers and office-based employees to improve their qualifications. The majority of bursaries for teachers are benefiting Grade R teachers. Our bursary beneficiaries, like the majority of their counterparts in other sectors, are studying online through different higher education institutions.

We are working with different providers to organise more online courses for our employees. 

All the above-mentioned programmes are catered for in the 2020/2021 Business Plan and Workplace Skills Plan which have been approved by the Head of Department and submitted to relevant SETAs.
