The Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is a multi-year programme that promotes teaching in public schools. Full-cost bursaries are available to enable eligible students to complete a full teaching qualification in an area of national priority. Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they receive the bursary.

Qualified recipients of the bursary must request placement in a province of their choice. The provincial education department (PED) concerned will determine whether there is suitable post available. If there is not, the applicant may be placed in a PED that does have suitable vacancies. Please note that bursars cannot choose the school in which they would like to be placed.

if i may ask.... why are all the bursaries and jobs in the engineering direction...?

[WiK1d]

gee! Anything Construction Management related? I had something lined up with Group 5, went through to the final round and haven't heard anything so I take it I fell out.

if i may ask.... why are all the bursaries and jobs in the engineering direction...?

That's something the country really needs (according to the government).

[jee]

Hmmm not everything is engineering...There are a few governmental learner ships and all such things..
I just don't get time to post all my list.

Wik, will have a look

@jee: This is probably not the right thread and not sure if you would know anything about it, but I got the opportunity to apply for a tender the other day. I thought I had put together quite an attractive offer, but in the end the problem was that they pay you only on delivery, which is not something a small business can cope with with large orders. They do this despite a policy of favouring local business and developing ones. Is this normal? Do they ever consider paying in advance?
