FET COLLEGES BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS
The allocation of funds is based on the following set of criteria:
• The approved Colleges’ Recapitalisation Business plans for three years were informed by the Individual Operation plan of each FET College.
• The approved one year Operational Plan for each FET College clearly demonstrates how the allocated funds will be utilised.
• Submission of the annual audited financial statements by the individual FET Colleges.
• Demonstration of their participation as Colleges in major infrastructure developments in the Province.
• Significant strategic focus on Free State Growth and Development Strategy.
• An illustration of growth in enrolment at FET Colleges with regard to youth development.
7
PROGRESS• The project teams for the
recapitalisation project have been established and report monthly as per the dictates of the reporting templates.
• Procurement policies have been re-aligned according to national policy and adopted by the College Councils.
8
PROGRESS (continue)
• Equipment lists have been compiled to ensure that all specifications adhere to the specific standards.
• The Department of Education indicated that the training of lecturers, who will be involved in the new NQF programmes, will be trained during the period August to October 2006.
• Staff members have been identified to offer the new programmes.
9
PLANS FOR CURRENT FINANCIAL YEARThe areas that will be addressed in the operational plan
are:
• Reskilling staff to offer responsive programmes
• Upgrading physical infrastructure of FET College
• Providing relevant equipment to support programme delivery and enhance skills development
• Providing support for development of relevant programmes
• Establishing student support units
• Establishing connectivity of 50 FET Colleges to improve communication, information management and curriculum delivery
10
CHALLENGES• The Recapitalisation Funds were transferred to the
bank accounts of FET Colleges on 15 June 2006. Separate banking accounts have been opened by each College for this specific purpose.
• A two day planning workshop was held at the end of May 2006 to ensure timeous achieving of objectives during the year.
• Operational plans have been adjusted to ensure that the backlog of two months is addressed.
• Implement ASGISA and JIPSA into the FET Recapitalisation programme by means of performance targets.
• The 2006/07 equitable share was reduced after the FET Recapitalisation conditional grant was received.
11
CHALLENGES (Continue)
• The availability of study material before the re-opening of Colleges in January 2007.
• Additional staff members will have to be appointed to enable the FET Colleges to offer the new NQF programmes, as well as the NATED programmes. The Engineering Field of Study will be problematic, as the existing programmes run for a trimester, and the new programmes will be year programmes.
12
CHALLENGES (Continue)
• The procurement processes could hamper the progress if it cannot be finalised within the given time-frame.
• Shortage of financial staff at FET Colleges are problematic as current staff are overloaded with additional responsibilities.
• The four FET Colleges are in the process to develop revised business plans to accommodate the transfer delay.
13
SUCCESSES• Open days at the 4 FET Colleges were held
during the month of May/June 2006.• The Public was informed about the FET
Recapitalisation plans and programmes offered etc.
• Open days were held as follows: Goldfields FET 8 June 2006 Maluti FET 6 June 2006 Flavius Mareka FET 25 May 2006 Motheo FET 22 May 2006
