    What is KZNDOE Call Centre?
    The Call Centre has been established to provide a communication service between the Provincial Department of Education and in particular its employees and the public in general. The KZN Department of Education is the biggest employer in the province with over 100 000 employees spread throughout the province. The majority of the department’s employees are educators. Being the biggest employer the department has an often challenge and daunting task of ensuring that the human resource business and operational matters are overseen and are run effectively. The department also has 12 districts, circuit offices, ward offices, more than 6000 schools and colleges of Further Education and Training that dot across the province. This makes it increasingly difficult for the department at Head Office level to monitor operations and be in the know of HR issues and challenges that employees encounter at these levels on a day-to-day basis.
