T
he Department’s Strategic Plan has been reviewed
Whilst a lot more remains to be done, the review has revealed that the Department has made significant progress in a number of areas:
Prioritisation
of funding
for the marginalised, thereby enabling them to access post-school institutions and fulfil dreams of careers thought to be unrealisableImproving learning opportunities across the post-school education and training sector by expanding and strengthening the post-school distance education landscape through open learning Introduced a new institutional type, the Community Education and Training colleges – with a primary objective of promoting education and training opportunities for those young people who cannot access universities or TVET colleges

raduates in most of the scarce skills areas are increasing: 12 058 engineering graduates (comprising 1 958 graduates more than the 2015 academic year target)7 259 natural and physical science graduates (comprising 659 graduates more than the 2015 academic year target) 19 124 new teachers (comprising 1 624 graduates more than the 2015 academic year target
)
Strategic Overview Slide7
Main challenges in the past two financial years:
1) Student protestsWave of student protests mainly in universities on some of the fundamental issues confronting the PSET
system such as transformation, funding and student accommodation shortfallsIn January 2017, the South African FET Students Association, embarked on a strike in colleges (Shut Down of TVET Colleges) with regards to among others the backlog in certification, incomplete resulting from the November 2016 examinations, lack of infrastructure, the non-expansion of enrolments
7
Strategic Overview Slide8
While these concerns are
legitimate, the Department has been able to attend to the matters under their control especially the finalization of the November 2016 results. The Department is unable to attend to the demand for additional voted fundsE
stablishment of the Presidential Commission to investigate the feasibility of fee free higher education and training, whose outcomes are envisaged in mid-2017Government has further committed to finding the resources to support children of all poor, working and middle class families – those with a household income of up to R600 000 per annum – with a grant to cover the gap between the 2015 fee and the adjusted 2017 fee at their institution

) System PerformanceFor the first time, the university system has not grown in accordance with the Ministerial enrolment targets for two academic years (2014 and 2015), i.e. 1 000 100 and 1 020 000 respectivelyTVET college sector enrolled 14 465 less enrolments in 2015 than the targeted 725 000. Preliminary figures also show that enrolments in 2016 are below target
Certification rates in NC(V) L4, N3 and N6 programmes offered by TVET colleges are constantly below target as a result of the poor quality of provision due to: insufficient fundinglimited resources including infrastructure in TVET colleges
9
Strategic Overview Slide10
Certification
Backlog approximately 233 000 of the 236 000 outstanding certificates for the National Certificate (Vocational) qualifications on offer at TVET colleges have been processed and released thus far
This number forms part of the NC(V) certificate backlog dating as far back as November 2007
10
Strategic Overview Slide11
Overview of the revised Strategic Plan: 2015
– 2020Strategic thrust will continue to focus on the provision
of a sound legislative framework, appropriate teaching and learning support, infrastructure development and the promotion of strong stakeholder networkIn particular, the Department aims to strengthen its oversight of TVET colleges in terms of the required steering mechanisms, and teaching and learning support, e.g. review TVET qualifications review curricular within the TVET system review the examination system and conduct policy for NC(V) improve learning assessment services in TVET colleges
11
Strategic Overview Slide12
Targets in the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) that are currently not funded have also been reviewed:
Foundation programme in TVET colleges Student accommodation in TVET colleges
As a result, the APP has no targets related to these areas:Number of TVET students enrolled in foundation programmes Success rate in foundation programme Number of additional beds for students accommodation in public TVET colleges The following targets have been reduced Headcount enrolments in TVET colleges Certification rates in NCV L4 and N3

Budget ReviewSlide18
The budget of the Department includes “direct charges” which are amounts that constitute a direct commitment from the National Revenue Fund in terms of specific legislative requirements and are not defined as voted funds. The “direct charges” for the Department is the skills levy revenue collected by SARS for the SETAs and NSF
For the 2017 MTEF period, the skills levy increases at an annual average rate of 8.0% from R15.5 billion (downward adjustment of the estimated levy collections by National Treasury) in 2016/17 to R19.5 billion in 2019/20
18Skills LevySlide19
The initial baseline allocations for the 2017 MTEF were reduced by National Treasury with a total amount of R10.974 billion to reflect the current lower than projected levy collection trend as follows:
SETAs: R2.437 billion in 2017/18 , R3.271 billion in 2018/19 and R3.071 billion in 2019/20NSF: R609.1 million in 2017/18 ,
R817.9 million in 2018/19 and R767.7 million in 2019/20The skills levy allocations based on the revised collection trend over the 2017 MTEF are as follows: 2017/18: SETAs R13.313 billion NSF R3.328 billion 2018/19: SETAs R14.375 billion NSF R3.594 billion 2019/20: SETAs R15.563 billion NSF R3.891 billion
19
Skills LevySlide20
When excluding the skills levy, the Department’s budget increases at an annual average rate of 9.4%, from R49.2 billion in 2016/17 to R64.3 billion in 2019/20
The allocation for 2017/18 amounts to R52.3 billion, which is an increase of R3.1 billion (nominal increase of 6.3%) on the 2016/17 allocationThe Department’s budget is dominated by Programme 3: University Education, which represents 80.2% of the budget in 2017/18, mainly as a result of the subsidy payments to universities and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. As a result, transfer payments also dominate the budget in terms of the economic classification of expenditure
20Budget TrendsSlide21
Normal Departmental services represents R8.855 billion (16.9%) of the budget which consist of compensation of employees and the operational activities of the Department.
Excludes all transfer payments (such as universities, TVET colleges, CET colleges, public entities) as well as earmarked funds (such as for the rental costs of buildings) For 2017/18, compensation of employees amounts to R8.425 billion (95.1%) of Departmental services. This leaves the Department with an amount of R429.541 million (0.8%) for normal operational activities including earmarked allocations
21Budget TrendsSlide22
Resources are limited (R365.858 million excluding earmarked allocations), especially taking into account that examination services as well as the operations of Indlela are accommodated within this amount
Current funding (2017/18) of both examination services (R95.741 million) and the operations of Indlela (R10.865 million) is below requirements and it leaves only R259.252 million for the operations of the rest of the Department including the Regional Offices

The
Department’s baseline adjustments (additional allocations) over the 2017 MTEF amounts to R5.345 billion in 2018/19 and R5.717 billion in 2019/20. These additional funds are mainly for the following purposes:National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) - Unfunded university students from the 2016 academic year R2.560
billion in 2018/19 and R2.764 billion in 2019/20Compensation for the carry-through cost of the 8% fee increase for the 2017 academic year:Universities: 2018/19: R2.618 billion 2019/20: R2.775 billionTVET Colleges: 2018/19: R168.0 million 2019/20: R178.5 million23
Budget TrendsSlide24
The impact of the
8% fee increase for the 2017 academic year (during the 2017/18 financial year) is funded through reprioritisation of funds within the PSET systemThe funds have been earmarked from SETA and NSF surpluses and amounts to R4.988 billion as follows:National Student Financial Aid Scheme: R2.370 billion
Universities: R2.460 billion TVET Colleges: R158 million Department provisionally received an additional R5 billion for the 2019/20 financial year. This amount must still be allocated and distributed within the PSET system. Refer to the Budget Review of National Treasury (page 52 to 54)24Budget TrendsSlide25
In
view of Government’s cost containment measures, the Department’s baseline allocation were also reduced with R8.460 million (2017/18) ; R8.623 million (2018/19) and R9.763 million (2019/20) as follows:- Compensation of Employees:
2017/18: R4.463 million 2018/19: R4.789 million 2019/20: R5.153 million- Goods and services: 2017/18: R3.909 million 2018/19: R3.753 million 2019/20: R4.508 million- Capital assets: 2017/18: R88 000 2018/19: R81 000 2019/20: R102 000Baseline reductions were absorbed within Department and forms part of final allocations for each budget programme

Detail of Transfer PaymentsSlide29
Department received a substantial baseline increase for the funding of the estimated shortfalls especially at universities
Despite this fiscal injection, there are still some serious service delivery requirements that cannot be addressedDepartment remains unable to attain the growth requirements within the PSET system in terms of enrolments, infrastructure development, increased operations and student supportShould be note that three targets reflected in the APP will not be reached due to lack of funding. These targets are:
- Student accommodation (Strategic Plan page 56)- Lecturer Industry Exposure (Strategic Plan page 57)TVET Foundation Programmes and success rate (Strategic Plan page 57)29Key Budget Pressures Facing the DepartmentSlide30
Department
is also at risk of not meeting the targets set in the NDP especially in terms of enrolmentsLimitations are placed on Departmental operations such as the rolling out of the new organizational structure, ensuring appropriate regional presence and examination servicesInstitutional as well as grant monitoring and evaluation is limited to most critical areasReliance on NSF and other donor support such as for career guidance, HEAIDS programme and activities of the National Artisan Moderation Body
Reliance on the NSF is also jeopardising the ability of the NSF to support artisan development and to increase student funding through NSFAS at universities and TVET colleges30Key Budget Pressures Facing the DepartmentSlide31
