CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The South African Council for
Educators held a strategic planning session to review its roles and
responsibilities within the new framework of Service Delivery. The strategic plan is reviewed annually
and projects for a three-year period. The
Council has also increased the levies to an annual amount of R60.00 per
educator to enable the delivery of the identified strategic goals. The previous
amount of R24.00 per annum was insufficient and led to compromise in certain
areas of delivery.
The SACE Act 2000 as well as
the recent legislation which requires Sace to play an additional role were
used, as the bases to identify the mandate of the Council in relation to the
current real needs of the educators. As
a result, this report spells out the proposed vision of the Council.The main
enhancements to SACE’s delivery package relate to more efficient responses to
registration applications and queries, substantial professional development
service regime and widespread ,continuous and sustained outreach and advocacy.
