Pretoria – Cabinet has endorsed recommendations set by the Ministerial Task Team which was investigating the “jobs for sale” allegations.
Speaking on Friday, Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Jeff Radebe, said Cabinet was briefed on the findings of the report involving individuals, teacher unions and officials of certain Provincial Education Departments.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga appointed a task team after reports surfaced that certain posts for teachers were sold for cash.
“In its final report, the Ministerial Task Team provides a critique of the role played by all stakeholders in the process of the selection and recruitment of educators.
“The report also notes the significant problems in the current system of appointments to posts in the basic education sector, and provides recommendations to assist the Department of Basic Education and the basic education sector in general to address the identified challenges,” Minister Radebe said.
He was briefing the media on the outcomes of the Cabinet meeting, which was held on Tuesday. – SAnews.gov.za
