An amount of R2.3 billion is being paid by the education department to teachers whose posts were abolished, the Sunday Times reported.

Teaching posts are cut when pupil numbers drop at a school or a subject is phased out.

The Eastern Cape has 8825 vacancies, and 6378 surplus teachers.

The Sunday newspaper established that a teacher in Limpopo has not taught a lesson in two years since her post was scrapped.

KwaZulu-Natal education MEC Senzo Mchunu said having surplus teachers was a “sheer waste of public money”.

There is a national shortage of 15,000 teachers. - Sapa
