“…These challenges amplify the scarcity of educators in rural schools, where the demand for qualified teachers, especially in specialised subjects, remains high (Podolsky et al, 2019). Rural education in South Africa is riddled with distinctive complexities stemming from historical, social, and economic factors, significantly impacting educational quality and rural learners' prospects (Pendola & Fuller, 2018). Apartheid's historical legacy profoundly influences the difficulties of rural education in South Africa (Ogboro & Adeyemi, 2017).…”

“…The failure to address teacher shortages in these subjects jeopardises the nation's capacity to meet future labour market demands. It obstructs progress towards equitably providing quality education to all learners (Pendola & Fuller, 2018). In sum, managing the recruitment and supply of teachers in South African education is a complex issue with profound and far-reaching implications.…”

The study addresses the pressing issue of needing more permanent teachers in critical skills subjects, particularly mathematics and physical science, within rural areas of South Africa's Vhembe District. This shortage of permanent teachers has been adversely affecting the quality of teaching and learning in these rural schools. The primary objective of the research is to investigate the effect of demand and supply management on these scarce skills subject teachers in rural secondary schools, specifically in the Mutale area. To achieve this, the study adopted a quantitative research methodology. This employed surveys through questionnaires for quantitative data. The study targeted a diverse population, including principals, teachers, heads of departments, and managers at district levels. The sampling technique utilised simple random sampling to select participants. Three hundred questionnaires were administered to gather this quantitative data, but 201 respondents returned the questionnaires. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study's findings reveal the critical effects of managing the supply and demand for teachers in Mathematics and Science, particularly in rural environments. Schools in rural areas struggle to attract Mathematics and Science teachers, and the study recommends restructuring teacher training programmes to motivate teachers to accept positions in rural areas. The study suggests further that offering attractive incentives is crucial to encouraging Mathematics and Science teachers in rural regions. At the same time, school principals should effectively manage the demand and supply of these teachers in rural areas.
