DBE Dismisses Claims of Teacher Recruitment Fees
The Department of Basic Education has released a statement denying claims that teachers are required to pay R350 for verification.
A spokesperson for the department, Terence Khala, stated that all legitimate recruitment and verification procedures are handled directly by provincial education departments.
The department wishes to make it unequivocally clear that no payment, fee, or deposit of any kind is ever required from teachers, public servants, or learners as part of the department’s verification or recruitment processes.
The department warned that any request for payment in exchange for placement is fraudulent.
