Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI)
Trough this BEEI programme, schools have also been guided to prioritise youth living in communities where the schools are located. In this way, the youth do not have to spend money on transportation between their homes and the schools where they will be employed.
Programme Objectives
“BEEI Phase V continues to aim at providing youth with soft and hard skills required in the world of work.” DBE
How the Programme Works
The focus for BEEI Phase V is to provide support to educators to contribute towards improved learning outcomes. To support the 7th Administration Priorities, the initiative will allocate more opportunities towards Reading Champions to support the improvement of Reading and Literacy in Foundation and Intermediate Phases.
The second category that will assist teachers in classrooms is Curriculum Assistants. Curriculum Assistants are not teachers and are not required to teach, as teaching and assessment remain the responsibility of the teacher. e-Cadres will be required to assist with ICT integration in teaching and learning.
Partnership on Exit Opportunities
The Department is continuously looking for organisations to partner with to provide training to the youth as well as exit pathways. The are funds set aside for Exit Opportunities of which that aspect will be administered and managed by the IDC.
Youth are encouraged to apply for these opportunities as soon as the application window opens. Allow this website to send you notifications so that you won’t miss this opportunity when it opens.
