Temporary appointment of experts in
fields of computer science and
mathematics
1588. Mr L B LABUSCHAGNE (DA) asked
the Minister of Education:
Whether provision is made for the temporary
appointment of experts in the fields of
computer science and mathematics in the
absence of a formal diploma in education;
if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant
details? NW2336E
The MINISTER OF EDUCATION:
The Personnel Administration Measures
(PAM) provide for the temporary appointment
of unqualified teachers in a number of
subjects. The measures also provide for the
temporary appointment of qualified teachers
without specifying a subject to teach. Therefore,
it is possible to appoint unqualified
teachers to teach mathematics and computer
science. However, qualified teachers have
first preference, and first entrants into the
profession in particular.
