DBE Dismisses Claims of Teacher Recruitment Fees
The Basic Education Department has dismissed claims circulating on social media that teachers are required to pay R350 for verification.
A spokesperson, Terence Khala, stated that all legitimate recruitment, verification, and appointment procedures are handled directly by the 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.
