For the quarter under review, the Department had planned to deliver 12 key outputs through its core delivery programmes (University Education, TVET, CET and the Skills Development branch) Support programmes (Planning and Corporate Services) had no target due for this quarter. For these programmes, we will report progress towards the attainment of annual targets.

Background We have structured the presentation to begin with core delivery programmes followed by support programmes. Of the 12 delivery targets, the Department has managed to achieve 10 (83%). The details will be presented in the slides that follow.

Programme 3: University Education The purpose of the programme is to develop and coordinate policy and regulatory frameworks for an effective and efficient university education system and it provides financial support to universities, the NSFAS and the NIHE. The programme has undertaken to deliver a total of 29 delivery outputs in the 2016/17 financial year. For the quarter under review, there were 5 delivery outputs of which all (100%) targets were achieved as follows:

Cabinet processes are not in the control of the department.

The process is not in the control of the Department.  The review of the conduct policy is dependent on the finalised review of the qualifications policy by Umalusi. The delays in the finalisation of NC (V) review by Umalusi may negatively impact on this process.

System Performance The release of certificates for the NC (V) supplementary and Report 190/1 Trimester 1 examinations scheduled for this quarter did not take place. Correction of data processing errors has been prioritised. Challenges with SITA capacity is repeatedly escalated within SITA.

2016/17: Second Quarter Report: Summary The overall spending rate for the second quarter is 39.1% (including Direct Charges) The high spending trend is mainly due to transfers made to universities and TVET colleges The average spending for normal operational activities, including compensation of employees, was 47.5% The spending rate on compensation of employees is 47.0% and indicated as follows:

2016/17: Second Quarter Report: Summary Item Budget (R’000) Expenditure (R’000) Percentage spent Personnel Expenditure 7 755 438 3 593 531 46.3 Examiners and Moderators 84 448 95 022 112.5 Total 7 839 886 3 688 553 47.0

2016/17: Second Quarter Report: Summary Transfer payments and subsidies were processed as planned and in accordance with payment schedules. Expenditure trends are monitored closely by the Department as various components are at risk of overspending. Cost saving measures implemented during 2014/15 are still in place. Details regarding the status of the various programmes and the spending per economic classification, is reflected in the next two slides. The highest spending trends are experienced by Programmes 1 and 3 due to incorrect PERSAL interfaces against Programme 1 that were corrected in October 2016 and the subsidy payments to Universities and NSFAS. Consequently transfer payments comprises the spending item that reflects the highest trend.

2016/17 Adjusted Estimates The total original allocation for the Department of Higher Education and Training amounts to R66.828 billion, as indicated in the previous slides. This allocation includes a direct charge against the National Revenue (R17.640 billion), which comprises the National Skills Levy payable to the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) and the National Skills Fund (NSF). The total allocation for 2016/17 decreased to R64.650 billion in the Adjusted Estimates. This revised allocation will be reflected during the third quarter report.

2016/17 Adjusted Estimates This represents a decrease of R2.177 billion. This decrease is due to the annual review by National Treasury on the collection of the Skills Levy during the financial year. For this year, the collection has been adjusted downwards based on current collection data.

2016/17 Adjusted Estimates Virement applied (Internal shifting of funds with zero net effect) Funds were shifted internally between Programmes to address specific operational needs and to provide for shortfalls on the cost of living adjustments. Shifting of funds for the TVET Colleges With the migration of the TVET function to the Department, approximately 81% of the total 2016/17 allocation for the TVET Colleges was earmarked for Compensation of Employees to provide for the uncertainty of the actual cost.

2016/17 Adjusted Estimates During 2015/16, this contributed to a saving on Compensation of Employees, as only 19% of the total budget was allocated for subsidies. The expenditure trend to date reflects that a similar saving may occur for the 2016/17 financial year. Compensation of Employee funds were therefore shifted to subsidy payments. An amount of R260 million was shifted from Compensation of Employees to TVET College subsidies.
