Coronavirus - South Africa: Western Cape Education offers temporary classroom assistant posts during the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic
WCED offers temporary Classroom Assistant posts during the national disaster
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July 1, 2020/ -- The WCED is asking candidates who wish to be considered as temporary
classroom assistants during the national state of disaster to register
their profiles on our online system as part of our Classroom Assistant
initiative.
The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed how schools operate, with
safety guidelines in place to stop the spread of infection. This
includes ensuring that learners are 1.5m apart at all times – including
in the classroom. That means that learners need to be split over
multiple classrooms.
As more grades come back to class, schools have been asked to submit
Temporary Revised Education Plans (TREPs) to make sure that the safety
guidelines continue to be implemented. So not all learners will be back
at school on any given day – models submitted by schools have include
having grades alternate their attendance at schools weekly or daily, or
learning in shifts.
Classroom assistants will facilitate lesson plans developed by our
teachers, and provide support in the classroom where needed. Assistants
will be appointed at schools where educators have received a concession
to work from home as a result of having one or more of the COVID-19
high-risk comorbidities. To date, 1 787 concessions have been approved
but this number is expected to rise.
Applicants must have an interest in the teaching profession. Anyone who
has an education qualification, is currently studying for an education
qualification, or has an appropriate undergraduate qualification, can
apply. The stipend paid to assistants will be R4000 per month if still
completing a degree, and R5000 per month if already completed.

Our teachers and non-teaching staff are working very hard at present to
prepare for the arrival of the next batch of grades. I want to thank
them all for their efforts, and look forward to supporting them with
classroom assistants where we can.
