Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(1)With reference to her department’s presentation on the progress of the implementation of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for SA Sign Language (SASL), Grades R-12, presented to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 12 September 2018, (a) why was the development of the SASL CAPS only done following a court case in 2009 between Springate and Others v the Minister of Basic Education and Others and (b) why did her department wait for legal proceedings to introduce CAPS for SASL, which is a deaf person’s constitutional right; (2) in view of 2018 being the first year that deaf learners will be examined in SASL as a Home Language subject, has she found that (a) the deaf learners are well prepared to be examined and (b) her department and the education system are sufficiently prepared to examine deaf learners in SASL; (3) what is (a) the number of suppliers of SASL learning and teaching support materials on her department’s database and (b) the experience of the specified suppliers in the field of SASL?

Reply:

Response

(1)(a) The development of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for South African Sign Language (SASL) prior to the 2009 court case of Springate and others versus the Minister of Basic Education and others was impeded and limited by challenges faced by government which had not yet been finalised. This is in reference to the fact that SASL is not yet the Official Language of government which essentially means it may not be provided at Home Language level in Basic Education, which is what it is for Deaf learners. However, it must be noted that the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 already recognised Sign Language for use as language of learning and teaching (LoLT) for Deaf learners. Following the court case, the Minister instituted a process of developing SASL CAPS which is already being implemented even though the Department of Arts and Culture and the Pan South African Language Board have not yet concluded the process of making SASL one of the official languages of government.

(b) In addition to the response in (1)(a) above, it must be noted that there is nothing in legislation that prevents right holders from claiming their right from those who have a hold on it. This claim was inadvertently directed to government largely than it was directed to Basic Education given the response in (1)(a) above.

(2)(a) In preparation for the first Grade 12 NSC examinations and in an effort to prepare candidates for the exit examination, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) has set and released SASL HL exemplar question papers for Grade 10 and Grade 11 in 2017. In 2018, the DBE has set the preparatory examination question papers for SASL HL in Grade 12, so that learners have full exposure to an examination that is equivalent to the final examination.

(b)The DBE appointed a panel of experts to set and internally moderate question papers for the Grade 12 NSC examinations. These question papers were externally moderated and approved by Umalusi. In preparation for the implementation and administration of examinations in SASL HL, the DBE established a task team to ensure that all schools, teachers and learners are fully prepared for the November examination. This task team developed Guidelines for the Implementation and Conduct of Examinations in South African Sign Language Home Language and this document was issued to schools prior to the preparatory examination. The DBE and PEDs also conducted an audit of all centres where SASL HL examinations are to be conducted. In cases where there were deficiencies, these were addressed. In addition, the DBE took a decision to mark the preparatory examination papers nationally in Pretoria. Teachers from schools that offer SASL HL in Grade 12 were appointed as markers. The DBE appointed a national team for the moderation of School-Based Assessment in SASL HL. All portfolios of candidates that offer SASL HL were moderated and feedback was given to schools.

On the basis of the above initiatives, the DBE is confident that we are adequately prepared to examine Deaf learners in SASL.

(3) (a) There are six (6) suppliers of South African Sign Language (SASL) learning and teaching support material in the DBE database.

(b) The DBE puts a call for submission of SASL materials to all suppliers. The following are the only suppliers that have responded: Sign Language Education and Development (SLED), National Institute for the Deaf (NID) and University of Stellenbosch. These are the only institutions that have developed and submitted SASL materials over the years.

(d) With regard to properties not transferred under the Restitution Programme, there are conflicts amongst claimants that impact on their ability to take ownership. With regard to other programmes, properties have not been transferred since the current government policy provides for leasing of state land with an option to purchase. The transfer must therefore be preceded by a lease and the exercise of an option.

(e) Properties under the Restitution Programme will be transferred to the claimants as soon as the instability and disputes are resolved amongst claimants. The balance of the properties will be transferred after the relevant farmers exercise their option to purchase.

Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education

(a) What are the relevant details of the Early Grade Reading Norms and Standards that are meant to be implemented by provincial education departments and (b) what progress has each province made in meeting the specified norms and standards?

Reply:

 

Response:

(a) The relevant details of the Early Grade Reading Norms and Standards which are meant to be implemented by provincial education departments are explained in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) from Grades R – 3. These include the text types that learners should engage with in a 2 weekly cycle and the time allocation per grade for each term of the year. They also contain the components of reading such as decoding, sounding letters of the alphabet, letter recognition to reading words and reading fluency which is clearly described in the Annual Teaching Plan (Section 3) of the CAPS. Additional guidelines were developed in February 2018 and mediated through the Foundation Phase Subject Committees and workshops at national, provincial, district and teacher training, as well as through Professional Learning Communities.

(b) Progress by province in meeting the specified norms and standards as per the CAPS are reported on quarterly through the National Strategy for Learner Attainment (NSLA). In addition, the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) Programme is being implemented to assist teachers to evaluate learners reading progress. Base-line, mid-line and end-line assessments are conducted to evaluate learners. Currently, 1670 schools are using EGRA to support the implementation of the CAPS.

The Primary School Reading Improvement Programme (PSRIP) was launched in October 2016. As a result, 11 712 Foundation Phase teachers and 263 subject advisors have trained on reading content and pedagogy in preparation for delivering the reading component of the CAPS. The table below details the progress as at 30 September 2018 on the above programmes in provinces.

Reply:

  1. RESPONSE

 

1 (a). The bench mark study tour was initiated and funded by the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) to assist the research work currently underway in the ELRC. Four(4) countries were visited, namely Finland, Singapore, Canada and Brazil.

(b). The engagements with the countries various departments took place from 26 February 2018 to 9 March 2018. The dates were as follows:

  • Finland : 26 February 2018 – 27 February 2018.
  • Singapore : 28 February 2018 – 2 March 2018.
  • Canada : 5 March 2018 – 6 March 2018.
  • Brazil : 8 March 2018 – 9 March 2018.

(c). At an Education Indaba in 2017 that was organised by the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC), three streams of work were identified to be undertaken to address challenges relating to education provisioning and related matters. One of these pertinent matters is post provisioning, which has become one of the difficult issues in the different provincial education departments in South Africa.

In addressing the issues raised by the Post Provisioning Commission at the Education Indaba, the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) commissioned desktop research to assess how international countries have approached post provisioning challenges, managed compensation of teachers and adopted effective distribution models within their education system. Based on the research, the four (4) countries that were identified that could best assist South Africa with its challenges and provide possible solutions.

During the visits three (3) focus areas were concentrated on primarily because of the South African context. The areas were:

  • Annual and long-term human resource (HR) planning (teachers and other personnel) at state, provincial, and school levels;
  • Budget allocation and funding structures from Grade R/ Kindergarten to Matriculation levels taking into account factors such as poverty, special education needs, and specialist subjects; and
  • Norms and standards for HR provisioning in small and/or rural schools.

2. (a). The names of the departmental officials were the following:

  • Mr T Kojana: Eastern Cape Department of Education;
  • Adv T Malakoane: Free State Department of Education;
  • Ms N Mutheiwana: Limpopo Department of Education;
  • Ms L Moyane: Mpumalanga Department of Education;
  • Mr E Mosuwe: Gauteng Department of Education;
  • Ms S Semaswe: North West Department of Education;
  • Mr T van Staden: Northern Cape Department of Education;
  • Mr M Cronje: Western Cape Department of Education;
  • Mr S Faker: Department of Basic Education; and
  • Mr M Mfela: Department of Basic Education.

The names of the union officials were the following:

  • Mr B Manuel: Teacher Union Executive Director: CTU ATU;
  • Mr M Maluleke: Teacher Union SADTU; and
  • Mr M Galorale: Teacher Union: SADTU.

The teacher unions identified the officials that were to attend on their behalf and they were invited separately from the DBE officials. The information on how the union officials were identified therefore needed to be obtained from the unions.

(b). The departmental officials were chosen because of their expertise and responsibility in either post provisioning, human resource management, early childhood development and finance. Unions were required to identify their own representatives.

(c) (i). The entire benchmark study tour was orgainised by the ELRC based on the resolutions taken at the Education Indaba 2017. The ELRC funded the entire study tour. There were no financial implications for the Department.

The Department is not in a position to provide the cost for each delegate on the benchmark tour.

(c) (ii). See (c) (i) above.

3. A detailed report with findings and recommendations were drafted by the ELRC with inputs provided by the delegates. A copy of the report may be requested from the ELRC.

Whether the so-called spy tapes were produced by the SA Revenue Service’s High-Risk Investigation Unit which was handed to Mr Michael Hulley for the former President, Mr JG Zuma’s defence; if not, who produced the tapes; if so, who handed the tapes to Mr Hulley?

Reply:

The EFF is advised to request the South African Revenue Service to indicate whether it produced the so-called spy-tapes.

Furthermore, the requested information is of such a nature that it would form part of the broader operational strategy of the State Security Agency and therefore as a matter of policy the SSA does not disclose such information.  It should however be observed that the SSA is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).

Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

What (a) will be the capacity of each faculty at each institution of higher learning in 2019 and (b) number of first year students will each specified institution of higher learning be able to accept in 2019?

Reply:

(a) Universities have a variety of ways in which they name their faculties, and therefore, the programmes offered by faculties across institutions vary considerably. The enrolment plan for each university is not developed per faculty, but rather for the institution as a whole. It is therefore not possible to indicate the capacity of each faculty at each institution. However, it is possible to provide the planned overall enrolments per field of study at each university.

Table 1 below shows the approved enrolment planning targets for each university by major fields of study in Science, Engineering and Technology; Business and Commerce; Education and Other Humanities, for 2019.

(b) The approved number of first-time entering students across all fields of study that each university will be able to accept in the 2019 academic year, is indicated in table 2 below.

(1)Whether he is able to indicate by what date the National Consumer Commission’s investigation panel into the holiday club industry will release its final report; (2) what are the reasons for the delay in releasing the specified report, given the fact that the report should have been published earlier in the year? [NW3806E]

Reply:

The final report will be released in the first week of December 2018.

  1. The final report is currently with the printers. The delay was due to the NCC:
  • consulting certain regulators and entities that have been drawn into particular recommendations;
  • seeking legal opinions on the implementation of certain recommendations.

The intention of the NCC was to not merely release the report to the public but to also provide a broad implementation plan.

(a) For what services was the R59 million virement allocated to his department for the Government’s proposed new nuclear build programme as contained in the 2018-19 medium term budget policy statement and (b) what (i) are the names of all service providers contracted in this regard, (ii) are the details of the services rendered by each service provider and (iii) amount did his department pay to each of the service providers?

Reply:

(a) The R59 million virement allocated is for an outstanding financial commitment for the Department to pay and settle the outstanding amount owed to the service provider for services rendered during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 Financial Years. It should be noted that the amount is not for any new or proposed services, but rather to settle the long outstanding commitment that the Department has with regards to the development of the Integrated Information Governance Process Management System during 2016/17 and 2017/18 Financial Years.

As a way of background, Cabinet approved back in December 2015 that the Department issue the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Nuclear New Build Programme (NNBP). Cabinet also approved that the Final Funding model will be informed by the response of the market to the RFP and thereafter be resubmitted to Cabinet for consideration. In preparation to release the RFP during the in 2016/17 Financial Year, the Department procured services for purposes of ensuring readiness to issue the RFP at that time. Consequently, the Department procured an Integrated Information Governance Process Management System.

(b) (i)The name of service provider that was contracted is Empire Technology.

(ii)The details of services rendered are to develop and implement Integrated

Information Governance Process Management System.

(iii) The amount that the Department has paid to date is R110.882 million.

Will the National Financial Student Aid Scheme (NSFAS) be (a) scrapping or (b) amending the so-called student-centred model adopted in 2018; if so, what are the features of the future system to disburse payments to students; (2) what does it mean that there has only been a 46% utilisation of the funds made available by the NSFAS by technical and vocational education and training colleges as at 30 August 2018?

Reply:

  1. (a) No decision has been made on the scrapping of the student-centred model.

(b) Part of the Terms of Reference for the Administrator is to work with the Department of Higher Education and Training to review the business processes of the entity and make long-term recommendations on the future models, structures, systems and business processes necessary for an effective National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

2. The budget allocation for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students was calculated on an expected proportion of eligible students linked to the enrolment plan. The number of students that have taken up the opportunity has been lower than expected for the TVET college sector. A major factor has been a large number of students who have not signed their bursary contracts. To mitigate this, NSFAS has sought approval from the Auditor-General to pay TVET colleges on proof of registration rather than on the basis of a signed contract.

2) the overall reasons, amongst others, for the prescription of the claims in each month, are claims that prescribed in the following circumstances: while awaiting the judgment in the case of Mvumvu and Others v The Minister of Transport and the RAF (Case CCT 67/10); awaiting the completion of medico-legal reports by medical experts; delays in obtaining confirmation of appointments for assessments for medico-legal reports; delays in obtaining completed medical reports from hospitals; awaiting necessary information from claimants or service providers; files not sent to Regions by consultants prior to prescription of the claim; administrative issues such as incorrect registration, miscommunication between the regions; where direct claimants have subsequently elected to instruct an attorney and summons is not issued before prescription and where claimants failed to provide correct contact information, or contact information subsequently changed and the claimant failed to inform the RAF;

3) The RAF has implemented a Direct Claims Policy with effect from 15 February 2016. The purpose of the Direct Claims Management Policy, amongst others, is to regulate the internal management of Direct Claims to ensure that the rights of Unrepresented Claimants are protected; to ensure that the risks to the RAF are managed; and finally, to manage conflicts of interest that may arise. The Direct Claims Policy provides for consequence management in the event of non-compliance.

Lekota, Mr M to ask the Minister of Transport

What plans did he put in place to remedy the (a) financial, (b) administrative and (c) governance difficulties currently being experienced by the Road Accident Fund?

Reply:

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has put the following plans in place to remedy the (a) financial,

In the longer term the design of the system of road accident compensation must change to address the fact that the existing system is unaffordable, with income not matching expenditure. To this end the RABS Bill, which is currently before the Portfolio Committee on Transport, will address the future financial viability of road accident compensation by ensuring a balance between funding and benefits. In the interim, the RAF has implemented a Cash Management Strategy to ensure that available funding is distributed in an equitable and fair manner. This has since evolved to cash management in the ordinary course of business, which is reviewed in response to the business environment. The RAF ensures that it communicates with service providers to ensure they are kept abreast of developments where necessary. The RAF seeks to ensure that any funds that are not committed due to general savings or delays in procurement, are allocated to the settlement of claims, where possible. The RAF has engaged with stakeholders such as National Treasury and the Department of Transport to ensure awareness, to present status updates and to seek solutions. In addition, the RAF has sought to implement measures to minimize the interruption caused by attachments of the RAF’s bank accounts.

(b) administrative and

The existing system of road accident compensation is administratively complex. Fault has to be proven and benefits are not defined, which results in delays in establishing liability and the quantification of claims, often resulting in disputes and protracted litigation, in which the intermediaries have a direct and substantial financial interest. The RABS Bill addresses the shortcomings by, inter alia, providing for defined benefits, on a no-fault basis, paid directly to beneficiaries, in a structured manner, ensuring wider cover, especially to the poor. The RABS Bill further seeks to reduce the administrative complexity inherent in the current system which will see less involvement by intermediaries and more money reaching the intended beneficiaries of the system.

In the interim, the RAF addresses improved administration through, inter alia, the RAF’s Annual Performance Plan for the 2018 - 2019 financial year, which addresses the RAF’s administrative challenges by, amongst others, providing for: initiatives aligned to efficient processing of claims; initiatives aligned to providing accessible services: initiatives aligned to effective financial management; initiatives aligned to optimising ICT functionality; initiatives aligned to improving people management; initiatives aligned to RAF transformation; and initiatives aligned to an assured control environment.

(c) governance difficulties currently being experienced by the Road Accident Fund

The previous Board was dissolved by the Minister of Transport and an Interim Board was appointed to address governance challenges. The process to appoint a permanent Board has commenced. The process to appoint a CEO re-commenced two months ago.

(1)Whether he can give an indication of the expected and actually realized income regarding the Gauteng e-toll system for each month from 31 December 2013 to date; (2) what type of road user made payments through corporate and individual road users for each month during the same period respectively; (3) what number of e-tags that are recorded have been activated and deactivated for each month during the same period; 4) what is the total (a) amount of legal costs spent on issuing summonses to road users thus far and (b) outstanding debt to the e-toll system for each month of the specified period; (5) whether any consideration is given to reissue summonses; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what amount has been budgeted for this, (b) what number of persons or institutions will be sued in this regard and (c) on what date will this take place?

Reply:

  1. Please see Table 1 below for the expected (forecast) versus realized (actual) income.
  2. Payments are made by an account holder who assumes responsibility to pay the account for the registered vehicles, which can be an individual, a corporate, or a combination. The person/entity that sets up the account does not complete a “field” to indicate if it is a corporate or individual user. As a result, the SANRAL toll system does not record whether a vehicle is registered (or owned) by an individual or a corporate user and the information requested cannot be directly extracted from the toll system. Should more details be required the Member of Parliament is welcome to visit SANRAL Head Office in Pretoria.
  3. Table 2 below provides, for each month, the number of tags that have been activated and deactivated from December 2013 to date. The table does not reflect the tags registered prior to the December 2013 date, such as the tags that were already in use on the Bakwena route. Tags are deactivated for various reasons, which include the following:
  • Movement of tag to a new vehicle
  • Movement of vehicles and tags between accounts, e.g. Public Entity and Key accounts
  • Deregistrations, etc

(1) (a) Does the Waste Bureau intend to own, operate and commercialise the Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) industry, and (b) will the Waste Bureau (i) allow private companies to process tyres commercially for the waste-to-energy sector and (ii) implement any trade barriers or restrictions on private companies supplying TDF on a commercial basis to the waste-to-energy sector; (2) (a) why has the Waste Bureau set a zero price point for whole tyres delivered to the cement industry, (b) does a zero price point not provide restrictive trade practices and, as such, ensures that the commercialisation of waste to energy is not possible, and (c) how can TDF be commercialised when the Waste Bureau has set a zero price point for delivered tyres; (3) was it the intent of the Waste Bureau to impose restrictive trade practices for the supply of TDF at no cost to cement kilns; (4) what price point has been set for processed waste tyres (TDF) to the cement industry; (5) (a) will the Waste Bureau allow a certain company to enter the waste-to-energy sector, and (b) is the specified company regarded as a competitor by the Waste Bureau?

Reply:

(1) (a) The Waste Bureau supplies waste tyres that are used as TDF, and this is currently to cement kilns and brickworks. TDF plays a major role in ensuring the diversion of waste tyres from landfills, and the Waste Bureau will continue to use TDF opportunities in order to continue improving waste tyre diversion rates. The Waste Bureau may also, from time to time, explore TDF related commercial opportunities as mandated in the National Environmental Management: Waste Amendment Act, 2014 (NEM:WAA 2014).

(b) (i) There is nothing preventing private companies from processing waste tyres for the waste to energy sector, and the Waste Bureau is aware of one private company that already supplies TDF.

(ii) The Waste Bureau does not intend to implement trade barriers or restrictions on private companies supplying TDF on a commercial basis to the waste-to-energy sector

(2) (a) cement kilns gain a cost benefit from replacing coal with tyres.

(b) No

(c) See (a) and (b) above

(3) No

(4) The Waste Bureau, up until now, has only supplied whole passenger tyres to the cement industry (unprocessed), and, therefore, there is no price point that has been set for processed waste tyres (TDF).

(5) (a) The Waste Bureau does not have powers to decide which companies should or should not enter the waste-to-energy sector.

(b) No
