4. APPOINTMENT POLICY

4.1 In its efforts to pursue the education goals of quality and efficiency, the Ministry is, especially at this stage of its reform strategy, striving to have in its employ school management staff who should possess appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes; teachers at this level should have the capacity to manage educational change and renewal. This aspect is in fact stressed in the Education and Training Sector Improvement Programme (ETSIP), as well as the Wage and Salary Commission (WASCOM) Report and as per those recommendations, which have been approved by Cabinet. On the basis of the aforementioned, the Ministry will ensure that the appointment requirements are adhered to.

4.2 Appointments and promotions must also be made in consideration of the government policy of affirmative action [Affirmative Action (Employment) Act, 1998 (Act 29 of 1998)] so as to promote and ensure gender and racial balance at Schools [also, see Section 18 (b) of the Public Service Act, 1995 (Act 13 of 1995) and Public Service Staff Rule, Chapter B.II, Parts I - IV (Public Service Management Circular No. 23 of 2002)]. You are also hereby informed that where possible, recognized teacher union representation as observers at interviews be accommodated.

4.3 Due to the fact that women are generally under-represented at school management level, they should be encouraged to apply for posts at this level, and be given preference if they possess the necessary qualifications and have shown competency. Also, persons with disabilities are generally not represented in the teaching profession, and should also be encouraged to apply for posts, and be given preference if they possess the necessary qualifications and have shown competency.

4.4 However, in instances where male teachers are in the minority at a particular school, a similar approach should be taken. In each instance, school boards, human resource advisory committees and regional directors, as the case may be, must give priority and due regard to having a representative and balanced staff complements at schools, and act accordingly if the opportunity presents itself.

4.5 Where possible, the imbalances in the composition of selection committees, panels and related bodies should be addressed. In this regard, please consult General Services Circular No. 03 of 2006 dated 02 June 2006.

4.6 Please take note that posts advertised in this circular are external, and candidature includes staff members in the public service as well as persons from other sectors.

It is hoped that all concerned will cooperate to ensure that appointment actions are carried through properly and finalized by the afore-mentioned due dates.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
