What you should know about the PGCE in South Africa |South African YouTuber 

Programs like what doll?

I’ve heard good things about Stadio and MANCOSA with regards to online learning.

😂😂😂🙊you caught all that🙊

@@Reholile yes I definitely did😂😂😂

Most Universities closed applications for study on the 30th of September. It’s wise to apply early because of space (some Universities accept people on a first come basis, and for funding purposes, there aren’t many funding opportunities at this time of the year)

Hey Tshepang, it depends on the University, I can’t say for sure

Thank you

Hey Lindo, all Universities will allow you to do two methods, like you’ll choose 2 subjects to specialize in. However, I know people who were only allowed to do one subject at UP because the university wasn’t satisfied with their undergraduate subjects, or they didn’t recognize their subjects.

@@Reholile Sp by two methods, you meant 'Subjects" right? I just wanna understand you clearly, sorry if I'm asking stupid questions eish

Lol, no worries I don’t think it’s stupid questions. But yes I mean 2 subjects

Hey Jessica, 1. I think that depends on the school, some schools may want to give you something but in most cases no. 2. You have to look for a job, nobody places you.

Hey doll, yes you must first register at a University as a PGCE a student, then apply for the student membership with SACE

@@Reholile thanks cant wait for next year. Job hunting is stress.

Tell me about it, everyday is a battle, but we will win

Hey Philisiwe, there are Educational institutions that accept people with diplomas. Just look on their websites for which diplomas they accept, usually it has to be something specific like a Diploma in Maths. Look on their websites and send emails to enquire, some Universities will say you should send your diploma and transcript so they can check if you qualify

I think studying full time is great so that you can finish your studies quicker, however if you already have a teaching job but want to get a teaching qualification then you ca study part time while working.

Yes you can, however a PGCE is equivalent to a B.Ed, so you would have to get your honours degree in education before moving on to the M.Ed and eventually a PhD. Most Universities want you to have a Masters degree to lecture, in some fields they accept lecturers who are in the process of getting their Masters degree, but have an honours degree.

@@Reholile Thanks a lot.

I know someone with pcge,have been temporarily employed for ten years. Why is he not absorbed permanent ?

It depends on whether you’re studying full time or part time. But if you were looking at unisa, maybe look at Embury. They have PGCE too, and it’s distance learning.

@@Reholile Thanks I want to do full time distance learning I am currently working but want to change my career in the next or two depending circumstances. I also want to be a lecturer but decided to work since there weren't lecturing jobs but I realize this is not for me and my true passion is academics and lecturing

I’ll be applying for next year too. I also want to get into academia. I think the earlier we apply, the better our chances.

Hi, please note that : Unisa phased out PGCE Foundation Phase only. But they still offer PGCE senior phase and FET. Applications are open now, do submit your application with them, if you are still keen. 🙏🏾

@@lucymokotjo7720 Hey Lucy, I realized that on the UNISA website they stated that the PGCE is for 3 years, is it not suppose to be for a year full time? and I have a national diploma in biotechnology and currently doing advanced diploma, do I qualify for the PGCE?

Hey Ezra, I’m not sure. Please check the requirements at the educational institutions or enquire with them

Right?! The anxiety, I had one lecturer like that at Honours level😭

@@Reholile Right?!😭😭 Yoh
