Not on the scarce-skills list

Job market outlook

Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase & FET Teaching (Consumer & Management Science) doesn’t currently appear on the national scarce-skills list as a Senior Phase Or FET Teacher (Creative Arts And English). That’s not a red flag on its own, most jobs in South Africa aren’t on that list, it just tracks where employers reported the strongest hiring pressure. Your own results, experience and network will matter more here than national demand trends.

These insights are estimates generated from South Africa’s National List of Occupations in High Demand (DHET, November 2023 draft), NSFAS’s published funding rules, and this university’s general applicant demand. They’re planning guidance, not a guarantee. Always confirm funding and admission specifics directly with WSU and NSFAS.
