Who must write letter of Good Ethical and Professional standing?
A. The letter must be from the Council for Educators or the Ministry of Education in their country of origin.
For educators who have just qualified, a letter of Good Ethical Standing (testimonial) should be drafted by the Higher Education Institution where the professional qualification was acquired.
Q: Is there any financial contribution educators have to make apart from the once off registration fee?
A: Yes. All educators must pay a monthly levy of R10.00. Private institutions are obliged to contribute an annual amount of R120.00 per educator. Those employed at registered public schools, fees are deducted by Persal via their pay slips. Those educators, whose fees are not being deducted, or those of whom are registered but unemployed, are required to make necessary arrangements for payment.
Q: Does it mean that I am automatically registered if my employer is deducting R10.00 monthly from my salary, in favour of SACE?
A: No. To be registered you have to apply for registration by completing the application form and submitting supporting documents.
Q: Can I get a copy if I lose or misplace my certificate?
A: Yes. A letter of request (clearly stating Name, Surname, SACE Number & I.D. Number and Postal Address) should be forwarded to the SACE office, together with a fee of R50 Postal order/Cheques, before a copy could be printed. Once again this will take 6 weeks from receipt of documents at SACE.
Q: How long does it take for one to get registered?
A: The process takes six weeks, including postage to and from the office for SA educators and three months for foreign educators.
