# Saftu is alarmed by Basic Education minister Siviwe Gwarube’s disclosure that there are currently 17-thousand-450 vacant teaching posts nationally out of 389-thousand-286 allocated posts, representing a national vacancy rate of approximately 4.5-percent. Saftu’s Asive Dyani says these figures represent thousands of classrooms where learners are being denied the full benefit of a stable and adequately staffed education system. She says they are calling for the immediate filling of all funded vacant teaching posts:
