The South African government has allocated R19.1 billion over the medium term to fund the salaries of teachers, as announced by the Department of Basic Education. This funding aims to support the employment of 1,070,000 teachers, addressing the need for quality education and reducing the learner-to-educator ratio. The allocation is part of a broader effort to enhance educational outcomes, with specific emphasis on early childhood development, reducing dropout rates, and improving literacy and numeracy skills. The funds will also help in the implementation of the General Education Certificate (GEC) and support the National School Nutrition Programme, which provides meals to over 9 million learners daily. This financial commitment underscores the government's focus on education as a critical area for development and social upliftment.
