Department of Basic Education
The Department of Basic Education was formed when the former National Department of Education was split into two: 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.
The Department of Basic Education offers the Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is a multi-year programme to promote teaching as a profession.

Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they received the bursary.
