The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has decided to issue two vacancy lists in 2009. These lists will contain Post Level 1 posts and promotion posts (including principals' posts). |

Principals and governing bodies are kindly requested to ensure that advertisements are filled in electronically on the draft vacancy list on the WCED website at http://wced.wcape.gov.za. Advertisements must be submitted electronically. No advertisement forms will be accepted. Principals must consult their circuit team managers if they experience problems with the process of completing advertisements on the draft vacancy list on the website. Please consult Circular 0010/2005 of 18 July 2005 in this regard. Principals who do not have access to the website must contact their circuit team managers.
