07 November 2019 - NW534
Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With regard to the sanitation audit undertaken by her department in 2018, (a) what are the reasons that the audit was necessary when sanitation already forms part of the National Education Infrastructure Management System (NEIMS) and (b) on what date will the NEIMS report for 2019 be released?
Reply:
1. The audit was necessary as the data in NEIMS is not real-time data, as there are schools that might have received intervention or are in the process of receiving intervention or their status might have deteriorated for one reason or another. Further:
(a) NEIMS get updated when the Provincial Education Department submit the NEIMS assessment forms for completed projects per quarter,
(b) Every five years the Provincial Education Department are required to conduct NEIMS condition assessment for the schools as stipulated in Government Immovable Asset Management Act.
2. National Education Infrastructure Management System report for 2019 will be released at the end of the second quarter of 2019/2020.
