PROGRESS REPORT
RECAPITALISATION OF WESTERN CAPE FET COLLEGES

PRESENTER: MEC C DUGMORE
PROGRESS REPORT ON THE RECAPITALISATION OF FET COLLEGES IN
THE WESTERN CAPE
21 June
2006
1.
INTRODUCTION
The overall goal of the FET
re-capitalisation programme is to increase the number of learners enrolled in
programmes that lead to higher education or employment. This will ensure that
colleges decisively impact on the skills levels of learners, especially the
youth and so reduce unemployment and poverty.
The Western Cape is home to about 4.5 million people, representing 10% of
South Africa’s total population. The population growth is estimated at 2.9% per
annum with an additional influx of 48,000 that migrate to the province, from
other provinces each year. The majority of those entering the Western Cape are
black people in search of work. This in-migration has changed the age, race and
poverty profile of the Western Cape.
An increasing percentage of learners with a Senior Certificate are not
entering the labour market. This situation is likely to continue for at least
five years unless decisive and targeted action is taken. Current employment
rates suggest that less than half of Grade 12 school leavers access higher or
further education or the labour market. This means that 10 000 to 15 000 young
people leave the schooling system each year with little hope of further
education or employment opportunities.
Unemployment rates are heavily influenced by race and age. While
nationally 30 out of every 100 Africans found employment between 1995 and 2002,
only 3 per 100 Africans living in the Western Cape found employment in this
period (SER, 2003). Eighty percent of the 18.9% of the labour force unemployed
in the province are youth. Contrary to the national trend, tertiary unemployment
has dropped while at the lower education levels, unemployment has increased.
The demand is for educated and skilled individuals.
In 2003 the Western Cape government announced its iKapa Elihlumayo
strategy ‘to mobilize the resources of government in the fight against poverty,
improve the living conditions of our people and (to) fight for the expansion of
the economy.’ (Minister Rasool, Budget
Speech 2003). Ikapa Elihlumayo emphasizes the importance of human and
social capital for economic growth.
In 2004 the provincial government tasked the WCED with developing a Human
Capital Development Strategy for the province. The WCED has produced this
strategy, asserting that education and skills development are central to
growth, prosperity and a better life for all South Africans.
The FET
college are located within this strategy as “crucial to the Human Capital
Development plans, especially in that it is designed to provide greater access
to students (both through the development of appropriate courses and the
availability of financial support). The sector has already delivered its
strategic development plans and colleges have restructured their course
offerings and have delivered new course curricula, based primarily on the
research done for the Micro Economic Development Strategy. The strategy
identifies Agriculture
(including mariculture and fishing), Clothing and Textiles, Metals &
Engineering (including ship building), Information Communication Technology,
Call Centers, Tourism, the Film Industry, Community Development and the Local
Government Extended Public Works Programme as growth areas for the Western
Cape.
The iKapa Elihlumayo initiative
funded the development of curriculum for a large number of full and skills
qualifications that are currently offered as full time and part time
programmes. (Please see Annexure 3 for a list of programmes). In addition to full time delivery, FET colleges are
engaged in training 6 433 learners in 53 learnerships.
Further
education and training vocational and occupational courses are generally
expensive when compared to conventional school based FET. The reason for this is that there are
usually materials and specialised equipment involved in the presentation of
these courses. This expense is passed
on to the students in the form of class fees.
This in turn makes courses economically inaccessible for a large portion
of the population.
It
is for this reason that the Ikapa Elihlumayo Loan Scheme was implemented. The loan scheme is targetted at
disadvantaged youth wishing to follow courses at FET Colleges at National
Qualifications Framework levels 2, 3 and 4.
The student receives a loan to cover class fees in terms of the
scheme. This loan is repayable when the
student becomes employed after completion of the studies. The recovered funds are then available for
disbursement to successive groups of needy students.
The
international norm for population participation in vocational education and
training varies across successful economies from 6% in the English midlands
(industrial heartland of the UK) to 12% in New Jersey and North Carolina. There is evidence of similar participation
levels in the East. In South Africa the
participation rate is approximately 1% - 2%.
If 12% is targeted for an established economy, the target figure for a
developing economy must ideally be much higher. (Source: Keith Loynes,
Chief Planner FET Colleges). Colleges
in the Western Cape have been encouraged to pursue a target of 5% to 6% by
2014. This means increasing the numbers
from the current 60 000 students to at least 300 000. The constraint to achieving this target is of course resource
related.
One
of the major constraints in the Western Cape is personnel provisioning for the
entire FET College system:
At
the WCED the FET Directorate currently comprises a Director, Secretary, Chief
Planner, and four Deputy Chief Education Specialists. Two further posts at this level have recently been advertised.
Staff-provisioning
norms have not been applied to FET Colleges since 1998. It is estimated that there is now a shortage
of 200 educator posts and at least 150 public service posts in FET
Colleges. The current personnel budget
for 2006/7 is R147 091 000. This must
be increased to R300m to cater for the current shortfall. The needs driven provisioning of new
campuses is happening with new campuses being opened every year in communities
not previously serviced by an FET college.
BUDGETS:
FET
College allocations:
2006/7 2007/8 2008/9
Personnel:
R147
091 000 R156 052 000 R164 788 000
Institutions
(without recap):
R34
642 000 R36
305 000 R37
939 000
The
figures for 2005/6 were:
Personnel:
R125
222 000
Institutions:
R33
501 000
The
figures for 2006/7 therefore represent a growth when the recapitalisation is
excluded, of 17,46% on personnel. (This
was brought about by provision been made for the appointment of the 18 Deputy
CEO’s and conditions of service adjustments for all personnel.) The growth in
the direct allocation of funds to FET Colleges in the form of institutional
support was: 3,4%
All
educator posts are fully occupied in the following manner: Permanent appointments, Contract
appointments and Part-time appointments where each post is occupied by more
than one educator.
Although
an overall budget growth was experienced, this translated into no direct
benefit to any college. In fact the
3,4% institutional budget growth is below the inflation rate and the colleges
experience further constraint in terms of meeting basic operational costs.
The re-capitalisation
programme aims to provide the essential infrastructure, equipment, learning
materials and human resources required to deliver high quality vocational
programmes. The Western Cape FET colleges were allocated a total of R227 305
000 over a three-year period to
·
Build a minimum of 14 new workshops
·
Build a minimum of 28 new classrooms
·
Upgrade and refurbish existing classrooms at a minimum of 35 campuses
·
Modernise all the relevant teaching and learning equipment for 13 new
vocational programmes at 40 campuses
·
Upgrade college infrastructure
·
Rehabilitate 40 college campus sites
·
Train approximately 1 200 college staff members to manage and deliver
the new vocational curriculum on NQF Levels 2, 3 and 4
·
Institute effective and efficient management and administrative systems
and procedures to ensure quality service delivery
The
re-capitalisation financial allocations are:
·
2006/7 – R70 000 000
·
2007/8 – R97 164 000
·
2008/9 – R60 141 000

CHALLENGES
4.1
Approximately 300 educator posts in the Western Cape are in the process
of being filled with permanent appointments and will be finalised in December.
The process has implications for educator training and preparation for
curriculum delivery in 2007.
4.2
FET Colleges are inadequately staffed. The implementation of the
operational plans may be threatened by the inadequate provisioning of personnel
at management, administrative and educator level. An estimated shortfall of 200
educators and 300 public service personnel exists. An additional budget of R150
million is required to cover the estimated shortfall.
4.3
Compliance with government Acts, such as PFMA and DORA have a major
impact on the procurement procedures and flow of funds.
4.4
State procurement procedures cause delays in the appointment of service
providers and may influence the ultimate expenditure of funds
4.5 Allocations for new buildings made over
the three-year period of recap, do not match the cash flow and payment
projections of architects. High interest costs could be incurred if the
situation is not managed.
4.6
The Re-capitalisation Conditional Grant is a new
grant in which guidelines on allowed
and non-allowed expenditure has not been finalised yet. This causes uncertainty
around procurement of service providers.
4.7
The provincial budget for FET colleges remained at
the same level than previous years. Only a condition of service related
adjustment has been made to the personnel component of the budget. Direct
funding support to FET colleges increased by 3%, which is below inflation rate.
5.
SUCCESSES
THUS FAR
5.1
The colleges appointed dedicated re-capitalisation
project managers.
5.2
The project managers formed a Provincial Re-cap
Committee that meet on a regular basis with the FET Directorate.
5.3
Colleges have set up structures and procedures to
comply with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act.
5.4
Colleges opened dedicated re-cap bank accounts in
order to manage and report on these funds separately
5.5
A reporting format and procedure have been put in
place and the first progress reports were received on 15 June 2006.
