The data for the 2019 academic year is currently not available. Preliminary (unaudited) student enrolment data and data required for calculating success rates is due from universities on 30 April 2020. Some universities have indicated that they may require an extension due to the lockdown period. The final submission date for data is 31 July 2020. A process of verifying this data will thereafter commence and the full set of audited data is normally available in October each year.

Given that the University of Cape Town, University of the Western Cape, Cape Peninsula University of Technology and University of Stellenbosch have made English their primary language of instruction, where are the approximate four million Afrikaans-speaking students, some of whom live in poor rural communities where very few learn to speak English, from the Northern and Western Cape supposed to study when not a single university in the Western Cape offers Afrikaans as a primary language of instruction?

Reply:

The total enrolment in public higher education institutions (universities) is just over one million students (1 085 568 students). There are 11 official spoken languages in South Africa. Universities need to ensure that language is not used as a barrier to access higher education. Language has been used to exclude the majority of South Africans from accessing some universities in the past. Government supports the initiatives taken by universities to remove barriers, linguistic or otherwise, to ensure that universities across the country remain truly national entities and are accessible to all South Africans. In the democratic South Africa, there are no exclusively IsiZulu, IsiXhosa or Afrikaans language universities, but rather, South African universities that uphold the values of the Constitution and are mindful of the legacies of the past, and play their part in creating a fully transformed united South Africa that is at peace with itself and the rest of the world. Students of all linguistic backgrounds can enter any university to study, and must be supported to succeed. Therefore, students whose home language is Afrikaans or any other South African language may choose to study at any university in the country. We certainly cannot go back to a past where some of universities were earmarked for exclusive cultural and linguistic communities. Moreover, while English is utilised as the main language of teaching and learning, there is no official South African language that is excluded by universities as all universities have multilingual language policies. Universities determine their language policies and plans in terms of the Higher Education Act (No. 101 of 1997 as amended). These policies and plans must be in line with the Higher Education Language Policy Framework determined by the Minister as well as the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

How will the district development model, to which the President, Mr M C Ramaphosa, referred in the State of the Nation Address on 13 February 2020, function in the basic education sector?

Reply:

The President of the Republic of South Africa, His Excellency Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, launched the District Development Model (DDM) in OR Tambo (ORT), Ethekwini and Waterberg municipalities in 2019. The DDM is intended to enhance service delivery through collaboration of all government departments in all municipalities through a single plan called the One Plan.

The basic education sector is already steps ahead in the implementation of the DDM. Firstly, the Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga MP, gazetted an amended Policy on the Organisation, Roles and Responsibilities of Education Districts in January 2018. The Policy, in addition to providing norms for the structure, size and resourcing of education districts, mandates that education districts should be aligned to municipal districts and metros. This is done in a manner that makes educational sense and takes into account other factors such as geographical orientation. For example, a municipal district/metro might have more than one education district in order to enhance manageability and support to schools. Subsequently, ORT municipality is comprised of two education districts - ORT Coastal and ORT Inland, Ethekwini metro is comprised of Umlazi and Pinetown education districts.

Education districts within a municipal district/metro, like all other government departments, should contribute to the development of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The education sector must identify catalytic projects/programmes, e.g., school nutrition, infrastructure and sanitation to enhance service delivery, and impact positively on the lives of the people; and to address their needs. The identified projects must be informed by research. For example, one of the immediate needs in ORT district municipality is that more than 60% of the youth have not passed the National Senior Certificate (NSC). To this necessity, the education sector is providing the Second Chance Matric Programme (SCMP), which provides learning materials and tuition to ensure that more youth can attain the NSC. Overall, all planning for capital projects in the basic education sector, will be done and coordinated through the One Plan of the District Development Model in each of the district municipality or metro.

Whether her department is planning to build a school in the Gert Sibande District Municipality region for children living with autism; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

Response from Mpumalanga Department of Education: The Department has no plans to build a school for learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Gert Sibande District Municipality. The establishment of a school is based on a wide range of criteria including the number of learners identified to attend the school. Currently; there are 42 learners with Autism that are admitted in Special Schools.  The Department has Units in the Special Schools for Severe Intellectual Disability (SID) to accommodate learners with Autism. Through the implementation of inclusive practices, learners with Autism are able to access required professional specialists appointed at SID schools because they are learners who require moderate to high levels of support. However; some learners referred and recommended for placement are not yet placed as the parents have a right to choose a school; unfortunately, in some instances preferred schools are full to capacity. It has to be noted that there is a plan in place to open a Unit for learners with Autism at the proposed school for hearing and visually impaired which is currently under planning and design in Barberton

Reply:

57 193 permanently appointed educators resigned between January 2012 and December 2019.  The unusually high numbers of resignations were recorded in 2014 and 2015.  This coincided with the period in which there was uncertainty relating to the changes in pension dispensation.  However, it should be noted that as at February 2020, about 17 800 of the educators who resigned, were back - appointed as educators in schools.

Whether the Jeffrey's Bay Police Station will be upgraded from half colonel status to full colonel status; if not, why not; if so, by what date’?

Reply:

The structures of police stations have lower and upper limits. A police station, at the level of Lieutenant Colonel, has between 91 and 179 staff. The grading of a police station does not only apply to the command structure but also to additional resources, without necessarily upgrading the post of the Station Commander.

Reply:

No housing allowance deductions are made for South African Police Service (SAPS) employees, who do not reside in official accommodation.

However, in forms of the Government Employee Housing Scheme (GEHS), .those employees who are renting and who ware employed, before 27 May 2015, receive R1 398,35 of which R498,35 is transferred to an interest bearing saving facility. For those employees who were appointed, after 27 May 2015, the whole amount. of R1 398,35 is transferred to an interest bearing saving facility.

The saving facility is administered by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and the National Treasury and funds can only be withdrawn when:

An employee becomes a homeowner.

In case of a contracted employee, his/her contract expires and the contract is. not renewed.

An employee passed on.

An employee retires or is medically boarded.

With effect, from 1 March 2017, all employees who currently rent official accommodation, pay R900,00 rental, per month, for state accommodation.

The deduction, in respect of state accommodation is paid into the National Revenue Fund. The deposit is made, in terms of Section 11(1)(a) of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No 1 of 1999).

Reply:

1) (a) Not all universities structure their faculties in the same way as some have colleges or schools. They determine within those faculties/colleges/schools their departments as deemed appropriate by each university. Data provided to the Department’s Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) is at a high-level according to qualification registrations and by CESM (Classification of Educational Subject Material), and not by faculty.

The Department is able to provide high-level enrolment and graduate data per CESM level. Enrolment data per university is provided in Table 1 (Annexure A) by qualification type and major field of study. In addition, data is provided per university by qualification type in Table 2 (Annexure A).

(b) HEMIS data only reflects a pass or fail result for the course completion at a full-time equivalent level to determine the overall success rate of the sector or by institution. Data on supplementary examinations are not collected. Table 3 (Annexure A) gives the success rates of students across all public universities by attendance mode (contact/distance) and by demographic population group.

(2) Marks are specific to a particular student and held by universities. This information would be subject to the universities’ confidentiality agreements with their students. The Department does not collect this level of detailed information per student, and is unable to provide it.

Reply:

The Compensation Fund has introduced the new CompEASY System in October 2019 and has progressively introduced new functionality and made improvements on some function based on feedback from users:

  • User Registration was introduced on 1 October 2019
  • Claims Registration was introduced on 14 October for internal users and 18 October 2019 for external users
  • Electronic Medical Claims batch submission and internal medical claims capturing on 1 November 2019
  • External Medical Claims and Pre Authorisation application released on 9 February 2020

Total amount paid since October 2019:

  • to medical service providers on CompEASY is R103 million
  • to medical service providers on SAP ECC R479 million
  • to pensioners and beneficiaries R465 million

Reply:

1. CompEasy (S4i) information:

(a) R 143 million

(b) Claims processed in the system since introduction of the new claim system:

i.Medical invoices processed 170 955

ii. Claims Registered 15 428

iii. Claims Paid:

  1. to medical service providers on CompEASY is R103 million
  2. to medical service providers on SAP ECC R 479 million
  3. to pensioners and beneficiaries R465 million

2. Adequate User Acceptance Testing and Quality Assurance was provided during the development of the new system prior to introducing the system. The gradual release of the functionalities in the system also assisted Users to test the system internally and give feedback before it is released to the public.

There is no legal or operational requirement to parallel test a system. Based on the control weaknesses in the old system, parallel testing would have continued to expose the Fund to fraudulent and invalid claims.

On the payment side the Fund continued to pay claims both on the new CompEasy system and on the old SAP ECC.

Reply:

In terms of the quarterly performance targets in the 2019/20 Annual Performance Plan (APP), 9 export protocols were implemented during Quarter 1, but were reported to be still in progress pending validation of reported data at the regional offices (WC, KZN, PE) by the unit responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). As at to date, validation of the 9 export protocols by both M&E and the Directorate Inspection Services(DIS) has been concluded and all 9 export protocols have been implemented.

7 export protocols were implemented during Quarter 2 of 2019/20, but were also reported to be still in progress pending validation.M&E is allowed 90 days after each Quarter to validate reported performance.

The implementation of the protocols is seasonal and sometimes overlaps to the next quarter. The table below shows in which quarters each export control is expected.

(1)What number of students who were supported by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) in each faculty of each institution of higher learning in the 2018 academic year (a) were enrolled for each (i) degree and/or (ii) other qualification, (b) wrote (i) exams and (ii) supplementary exams in each (aa) degree, (bb) qualification and (cc) subject, (c) passed and (d) failed each exam and/or supplementary exam that they wrote; (2) what were the marks obtained in each subject in respect of which an exam and/or supplementary exam was written by NSFAS supported students?

Reply:

The Department and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) will not be able to provide the information in the requested format, as this level of detail is only available at an institutional level, and would take considerable time to collate. There would also be limits to the level of detail that could practically be provided per institution.

In terms of the data exchange between NSFAS and institutions, institutions provide information to NSFAS on whether students meet the criteria for continuation. The level of detail requested in terms of examinations, supplementary examinations, subjects passed and failed, marks, etc. is not provided to NSFAS.

The Department's Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) collects information on enrolments and completion of qualifications. This enables cohort reporting to be done according to a breakdown of qualification types, i.e. 3-year degrees, 3-year diplomas and 4-year degrees. Specific cohort information is also collected on the MBChB programme, engineering programmes, life and physical sciences and teacher education. In addition, data is broken down according to population group and gender. This is in line with the requirement to focus on specific Medium Term Strategic Framework targets. It is possible to provide an overview of the breakdown according to fields of study, i.e. Science, Engineering and Technology; Business and Commerce; Education and the Humanities.

NSFAS recipient data is also brought into the cohort study to show the overall performance of NSFAS recipients, and the study is also able to look at students enrolled for foundation programmes. The attached cohort study was based on data up to the 2017 academic year and provides the throughput and dropout rates of NSFAS funded students.

It is only possible to provide a global picture of throughput rates for particular cohorts. Data provided to HEMIS is at a high level according to qualification registrations and by CESM (Classification of Educational Subject Material), and not by faculty. The names of qualifications reported from different institutions are not consistent, as they are reported according to their accredited names. HEMIS only reflects pass or fail results for the course completion at a full-time equivalent level to determine the overall success rates of the sector or by institution. This data is required at a high level for funding and planning purposes.

Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture

1. Whether the Oude Stadshuis in Cape Town, managed by Iziko Museums of South Africa, is closed to the public; if so, (a)(i) since what date has it been closed and (ii) what is the reason for the closure, (b) by what date will Oude Stadshuis be reopened to the public and (c) what amount in revenue has been lost in each year that it has been closed; 2. (a) what happened to the Michaelis collection of art works, (b) what does the specified collection consist of, (c) does the collection include international work and work of the old Dutch masters and (d) what is the monetary value of the art work; 3. whether any technical problems have been detected in the Oude Stadshuis; if so, (a) on what date was each problem detected and (b) what steps has his department taken to resolve the problems? NW627E

Reply:

(1).     Currently the Oude Stadshuisis closed to the public.

(a)(i). It was closed to the public on 31 December 2015.

(ii). Two serious electrical-related incidents – a fire in the wall and burning in the ceiling – transpired at the Oude Stadshuis. Assessment of the incident by The Department of Public Works and Occupational Health and Safety team determined that the impact of the incidence made it unsafe for the public, staff and irreplaceable artworks housed therein.

(b). The reopening of the Oude Stadshuis is dependent on a series of factors. Some of the processes of upgrading and maintaining the museum are beyond the locus of Iziko’s control. Iziko is engaging with all stakeholders at national, provincial and local levels, and have followed all required processes. Iziko is committed to ensuring the protection and safety of the building, the collection formerly housed therein, and the public – whom our museums serve.  The impact of the recent occupation by the refugees of the veranda of the Oude Stadshuisand the surrounding building, has further impacted the implementation timelines. Currently, a project manager has been appointed to manage the implementation. Procurement of goods and services are planned for the upcoming fiscal and Supply Chain has been engaged in the processes. Project implementation that is both outside of the scope and control of Iziko Museums of South Africa, include approvals by provincial heritage authority committees.
