Question NW2119 to the Minister of Higher Education and Training
11 October 2016 - NW2119
Mbatha, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
In view of his department’s plan to roll out nine community college centres in the country, what is the anticipated total number of citizens that would be reached by this programme in the next three years?
Reply:
Informed by the policy trajectory of the White Paper for post-school education and training, the Department has projected a cumulative student enrolment target of 990 000 students by 2019. The cumulative target can be broken down into annual targets of 320 000, 330 000 and 340 000 for 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively. The achievement of the target is subject to the availability of an appropriate budget allocation for Programme 6. In the absence of any additional funding for the Programme, these targets may need to be adjusted downwards to align them with the current budget allocation for the Programme.
