80% of all posts falling vacant at the Dept of Higher Education and Training in South Africa, 'it will be filled by blacks:"
Khaye Nkwanyana, spokesman for the Dept of Higher Education and Training (DET)
25 March 2015 -- "The Department is responding to the challenges of the declining and ageing academic staff."
"The Department had introduced the Staffing of South African Universities Framework (SSAUF) to respond to the staffing challenges in the higher education sector in terms of the size, composition and capacity of its academic staff.
"The existing challenges are multi-faceted. They are related to the slow pace of regeneration and transformation in the sector, the ageing workforce, developments in higher education worldwide that demand ever greater levels of expertise from staff, and the low numbers of academic staff with doctorates.
"The first phase of the SSAUF is being implemented from this year (2015), and involves the recruitment of approximately 150 young academics into the New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP) and supporting their development through the staffing of South African Universities Development Programme (SSAU-DP).
Skin colour more important than qualifications:
The target for each intake of nGAP posts is that 80% of the posts be filled by black South Africans and women on the basis of clearly articulated equity plans, sustainability measures and staffing needs.
