Teachers, Teach the Children
Sunday, 10 August 2008
By WestCP

  Let me first begin by greeting you. I am writing from South Africa, where the situation as some people may believe is really really bad. But, dont believe all the tales.

You DONT get robbed every time you stop at a robot (traffic light).

You DONT have to drive with your windows rolled up

And your children wont get kidnapped or worse if they go to the park.

Some people have spread a lot of stories about our country, some may be true, others exaggerated. But the story I want to tell you is TRUE. Every bit of it.

South Africa is LOOSING TEACHERS!

Yes. Almost every day, more than 18000 - that's eighteen thousand people - apply to immigration agents to leave the country for better pastures. Most of them are professionals and many of them are teachers.

The IT Job Board has seen a 6% increase in the amount of IT support jobs being advertised and demand for these professionals as well as the salary expectation continuing to rise year on year. Companies currently advertising IT support jobs are BSkyB, Wavex and Raytheon.

The demand for candidates with Networking skills has also increased by 11% from January this year, however, according to other reports the annual salary has decreased from that what was offered last year.

Other skills where the need has steadily increased or stayed the same are Project Managers, Developers and testers. This may be down to the stage of most project life cycles, however it does prove that
