Ekuphawuleni uSuku looTitshala lweHlabathi, iSebe leMfundo esiSiseko (DBE) linike imbeko kootitshala baseMzantsi Afrika abamalunga nama-485,000 ngelixa liqaqambisa amalinge aqhubekayo ophuhliso lobungcali. Emva kweeMbasa zooTitshala zeSizwe (National Teacher Awards) zika-2026 zakutsha nje, uMphathiswa weMfundo esiSiseko uSiviwe Gwarube kunye noSekela-Mphathiswa uGqirha Reginah Mhaule balathe uphuhliso lootitshala njengoyena ndoqo wokuqhuba iinguqu zenkqubo kumagumbi okufundela asezilokishini, ezilalini nasezidolophini.

Eyona njongo iphambili yesicwangciso-qhinga sesebe sangoku kukuphuhlisa izakhono kumabanga aphantsi, apho ootitshala beSigaba EsisiSeko abali-10,000 befumana uqeqesho olujoliswe ekufundeni nasekubhaleni (literacy) nakumanani (numeracy) kulo nyaka. I-DBE iphawule ukuba la malinge ahambisana nokusasazwa okuqhubekayo kweSicwangciso-qhinga sokuFunda nokuBhala seSizwe (National Reading Literacy Strategy), ukomelezwa koPhuhliso loMntwana oseLula (ECD), kunye nenkxaso yeMfundo yeelwimi ezimbini esekelwe kulwimi lweenkobe (Mother Tongue-based Bilingual Education).

Ugxininiso kuqeqesho lwamanani kunye nokufunda nokubhala kumabanga aphantsi lubonisa inyaniso ebalulekileyo kwimfundo esisiseko eMzantsi Afrika: iinjongo eziphambili zekharityhulam zixhomekeke ngokupheleleyo ekubeni ngaba ootitshala bayakwazi na ukubethelela ngempumelelo izakhono ezingundoqo ngexesha leminyaka yokukhula komfundi. Ukomeleza ubuchule bootitshala kumanani asisiseko nasekufundeni kwakha isiseko esifunekayo ngaphambi kokuba abafundi badibane nezifundo zobugcisa nezohlalutyo ezintsonkothileyo kumabanga aphezulu.
