Abstract

The profession of teaching is and should be considered as one of the most important in all countries. The reason is that any skill, be it technical or social, is acquired from teaching and learning process. Therefore, training teachers should be done with respect to profile of the person needed. In this article, we investigated some aspects of the South African education system with regard to faculties or colleges of education curriculum, teacher, micro-teaching lessons, and placement process. Based on the pillars underpinning the DR Congo education system, suggestions are made to strengthen the South African education system.
