The Department of Basic Education has announced that the Funza Lushaka Bursary applications are being extended.
Applications were originally supposed to close on 28 February but will now be closing on 3 March instead.
DBE has said:
Kindly note that the closing of the Funza Lushaka application system has been postponed to Wednesday, 3 March 2021 at 00:00.
This is said to be due to technical issues happening on the system.
All first time applicants must be 30 years or younger to apply for Funza Lushaka Bursary. The Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is a multi-year programme to promote teaching as a profession.
