1. PRESENTATION TO EDUCATION PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE : BUDGET REVIEW 2016 07 APRIL 2016 1

2. 2 UPDATED SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS The Council is constituted by members from all teacher unions, school governing body organizations,Further Education sector, Higher Education sector, Independent school sector and Ministerial nominees, and is appointed by the Minister of Basic Education to serve a four year-term, currently ending on 31 July 2017. The current Council has been appointed in August 2013. 1.1Performance Delivery Environment The South African Council for Educators (SACE) continues to realise its mandate of registering educators, promoting the development of educators, and ensuring that educators adhere to the Code of Professional Ethics in line with the SACE Act no.31 of 2000. In addition, SACE continued planning for and developing the Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) system as stipulated in the National Policy Framework on Teacher Education and Development, April 2007, and further legislated in Basic Education laws Amendment Act (BELA) of no 15 of 2011. SACE has taken time to focus on the area of registration to correct the processes that may lead to backlog of teacher registration. This process resulted in Council taking a decision to ensure that all vacant positions, in this division are filled, and that the call centre plays a key role in assisting the educators. The turn- around time was reduced significantly so as to ensure that educators are registered within seven working days. The number of foreign educators has also been causing pressure and this was reduced significantly when Council took a decision to move their application renewals from yearly to five yearly provided they have all the relevant documents, or at least in line with work permit periods. Due to the high rise of fraudulent qualifications, a decision was taken to have MOU’s with SAQA, Umalusi and the DBE. In the financial year Council will be focusing on piloting online registration. Council will vet applications and verify all qualifications of teachers (new and registered). Council receives close to 700 cases per annum, which are difficult to investigate and prosecute in the same year. Council has now trained a large group of experienced professionals to assist as investigators, prosecutors, panellists and presiding officers. The Council works closely with the different Provincial Education Department, to ensure that processing of complaints are streamlined and unprofessional teachers are vetted.

3. Due to the rise in the cases being reported on the alleged misconduct of educators, Council has taken a decision to vet all educators. Due to the increase of these cases Council also took a decision to communicate with all stakeholders in the school community. Council will continue to embark on thorough advocacy. SACE has taken its mandate further by going through a process of redefining its role, scope, and functions, for the 2015/16. This process resulted in Council taking a decision to focus more on promoting the development of educators and extending its scope by improving and strengthening its research capacity for purposes of evidence-based planning processes, advising the Ministers of Basic and Higher Education and Training and the public, and informing Council decisions and programmes. In realising this new area of focus, the policy and research unit is to be expanded during the 2015/16 financial year. Initial policy and research work commenced in the following areas: teacher migration, professional registration of the FET College lecturers, identifying gaps and role of SACE in teacher demand and supply. Council will also develop and implement professional standards and designations, including an induction methodology. Co-operation: SACE has developed good working relationships with the Departments of Basic Education, stakeholders and related entities and organizations. It has not encountered opposition but continues receiving good advice and support. SACE will further clarify the complementary obligations relevant. 1.2 Organizational Environment The Minister of Basic Education appointed a 30 member Council in August 2013 to continue with the work of the previous Council which ended its term in July 2013. The Council has staff complement of 87 of which 10 are at managerial level under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer. The Council has appointed provincial co-ordinators to facilitate and manage Continuous Professional Teacher Development. There is also a need to improve the case management to process the increasing number of reported cases. Council will appoint two full-time investigators, a para-legal clerk and increase its pool of resource persons. At least two Provincial offices are to be operational in the current year. It is expected that the Council will generate R 64million per annum comprising of the following: - Registration fees Paid as once off on registration at a rate of R200 for South African educators and R400 for foreigners; - Annual membership fees of R120-00 per educator and, - Government subsidy to manage Continuous Professional Teacher Development System. 3

4. The Council will consider policy to deal with natural attrition and succession planning in the next financial year. REVISIONS TO LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES 2.1 The Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (2011) The Basic Education Laws Amendment Act of 2011 amends Section 5 of SACE Act no. 31 of 2000 to mandate SACE to manage a system for the promotion of the Continuing Professional Development of all educators. It further amends Section 19 of SACE Act of 2000 to allow the state to fund the Council on request by Council. In effect SACE’s role in promoting the professional development of educators is clarified. It has to focus on quality assuring programmes and activities and monitoring and recording of uptake. 2.2Employment of Educators Act (1998) The Employment of Educators Act 1998 Section 15 (2) directs that if the name of an Educator is struck off the register of educators kept by The South African Council for Educators, the Educator shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act, be deemed to have resigned with effect from the day following immediately after the day on which the Educators name was so struck off. 2.3 South African Council for Educators (SACE) Act (2000) The SACE Act (2000) Section 26 (2) requires that in each case where steps were taken against any educator under Section 24 (2),other than the cautioning or reprimanding of the Educator, the Employer shall furnish The South African Council for Educators with the record of the proceedings at the inquiry and all other documents relating thereto. 4
