31. B. Personnel Currently SACE has the staff complement of 60
We are also moving very fast in ensuring that we implement the equity plan
The administration of the council is sound

32. c. Accommodation
We are still facing a challenge in this regard since we are operating from three different buildings.
The property we purchased earlier is in the process of being sold as a result of the council decision to do so.
The ELRC has also indicated formally that they need their space for they have a lot of projects to embark on but have limited space owing to us occupying their building

33. CHALLENGES
One of the challenges we encountered was the serious knock on our resources due to the funding we could not receive from the Education Department on CPTD.
We still are facing problems in relation to accommodation and this is one matter that should be attended to as a matter of urgency
On funding we are still challenged due to the council not being able to increase its levies however this matter was resolved recently in that the levies have now been increased to R10 per teacher per month.

34. Challenges continued
Reaching out to the profession emphasising the principles of good practise and emphasising and monitoring the governments priorities on education including professional conduct of educators due to lack of both human and capital resources was still a challenge.

35. Challenges continued
Support in relation to ensuring that the CPTD system is fully implemented fully without any hindrance is still experienced.

36. Way forward for Council
We believe as a Council we are slowly reaching out to our full potential and thanks to the ongoing support from our stakeholders.
In the coming financial year new strategic plans would be drawn up for the next three years and this process would be inclusive of all stakeholders.
Some of the key focus areas would amongst others include intensifying the research capacity and more advocacy and outreach to the profession and coming up with fund raising strategies and engaging with possible funders for SACE to achieve its objectives and assistance and guidance from the portfolio committee would be highly appreciated..
Currently we are engaged with the Maringo communication consortium in assisting with possible expansion of SACE services through better communication means and we still need to engage more in this regard.

37. The Council will during the current financial year consider the levy increase through the thorough process of consultation with all stakeholders.
The sale of the Visagie building as the improvement costs were regarded to be high.
New accommodation model to be considered.

38. Thank you for your attention
