Successes and challenges

Key Successes Contributed to Improved teaching, learning and administration through teacher development and school administration to make schools work Supported for FET Colleges to be responsive to the ETD and National Priorities Contributed to Youth Development for Employability Two clean audits and an unqualified Audit Report - Demonstration of Good Corporate Governance

Challenges experienced … Introduction of the New Grant Regulations (12 Dec 2012) resulted in the reduction of mandatory grant from  50% to 20%. This had a bearing in the submission of WSPs. Capping of the budgets – insufficient funds resulting in inability to meet needs of the stakeholders Challenges with the information management system as a result of ageing systems and capacity constraints The SETA lifespan – inability to put long term plans in place
