With the successful completion of Phase 4, many are eagerly awaiting the programme’s return. The good news is that the Department of Basic Education has officially confirmed that new phases of the BEEI are on the way.

What Is the BEEI Teaching Assistant Programme?

The BEEI is designed to provide young South Africans with valuable work experience in the education sector. It supports youth who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching, while also benefiting schools by easing the workload on teachers and improving classroom support.

In a recent announcement, the department said it will soon roll out the next phases of the initiative, giving hope to many who are looking for entry-level education jobs in 2025.
