About the department of basic education
The Department of Basic Education was formed when the former
National Department of Education was split into two: the Department of Basic
Education and the Department of Higher Education and Training. The DBE deals
with all schools from Grade R to Grade 12, including adult literacy programmes.
The aim of the DBE is to develop, maintain and support a South African school
education system for the 21st century.
Our vision is of a South Africa in which all our people will
have access to lifelong learning, education and training opportunities, which
will, in turn, contribute towards improving the quality of life and building a
peaceful, prosperous and democratic South Africa.
The Department of Basic Education adheres to the
following values
People: Upholding the Constitution, being
accountable to the Minister, the government, and the people of South Africa.
Excellence: Maintaining high standards of
performance and professionalism by aiming for excellence in everything we do,
including being fair, ethical, and trustworthy in all that we do.
Teamwork: Cooperating with one another and with
our partners in education in an open and supportive way to achieve shared
goals.
Learning: Creating a learning organisation in
which staff members seek and share knowledge and information while committing
themselves to personal growth.
Innovation: Strive to address the training
needs for high-quality service and seek ways to achieve our goals.
