Cape Town - Discussions are under way by the Department of Basic Education (DBE) to review and repackage the Presidential Youth Employment initiative, with a proposed second phase to start later this year.
DBE spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said the initial duration of the programme, which started in December last year, was four months, but it was extended by one month until the end of April 2021.
He said the basic education sector created employment opportunities for more than 320 000 education and general education assistants who were placed in schools around the country.

President Ramaphosa says South Africa has several advantages that make it an attractive destination for business services.
Dear Fellow South Africans
I have often said that our economic recovery plan is not about a return to what was, but about transformation to what is next.
We have to both recover the ground that we have lost due to the coronavirus pandemic and to gain new ground by placing our economy on a fundamentally different growth trajectory.
In short, we have to use this moment to forge a new economy in a new global reality.
One of the concrete ways that we can do this is by harnessing the job-creating potential of the digital economy, whose growth has only been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic.
