South Africa’s education under pressure after budget cuts

This year’s budget cuts crushed many dreams of future educators. The Western Cape is one of the provinces most likely to experience a significant decline in teaching posts in 2025.

A recent report by The Citizen stated that the Western Cape provincial minister of education, David Maynier, announced that some permanent teachers will be asked to move to other schools where there are suitable vacancies. The Western Cape implemented a drastic R2.5 billion budget cut, including on administration, curriculum and infrastructure and still faces an R3.8 billion budget shortfall over the next three years.
