Mpumalanga Department of Education Reviews

 

Invaluable experience obtained

I work for the Mpumalanga Department of Education and have been working for the department for the last 13 years. i started as a level 1 educator and was promoted to departmental head in 2017. our working hours are from 7:30 to 14:30 which makes up a 7 hour working day. as i was teaching grades 4-6 I had about 5 periods of teaching per day. although it became monotonous it was quite exciting at first but as the years passed it became monotonous because I was only teaching one subject. I became quite an expert in teaching twechnology and i enjoyed working with children as well as my colleagues. I later taught english and it became quite a challenge. We had to submit daily lesson plans and report hour progress in implementing our lesson plans per week to the departmental head. it was on the whole a lovely and priceless experience.

Pros: Job security
Cons: Poor promotion prospects

Capable of learning new things and have the ability to work under pressure and independently.

The position has opportunities to learning new things in the built environment, and there is work pressure while working independently. The department has a chief directorate: physical resources and physical management comprising of all built environment professionals, thus offering me the opportunity to advise and lead a multi-disciplinary organization.

Pros: Opportunities to contribute towards the formulation of national regulations and guidelines related to Education infrastructure delivery
Cons: Working under pressure from political principals, business forums requiring business opportunities and communities requiring school infrastructure as well as job opportunities all in the absence of adequate budget.
