TVET Colleges Indicative Budget Allocation Challenges & Solutions – Registration Process
Components of Programme Funding • The programme budget allocation for TVET colleges is determined in terms of the Norms and Standards for funding. • It consists of the following: • Compensation of Employees for all TVET colleges appointed to offer Ministerial approved programmes (NCV and Report 191) • Operational costs for the TVET colleges • Goods and Services costs for provincial TVET colleges units • From 2015/16 Compensation of Employees budget allocation will be retained in the Department to pay for salaries of college employees due to the function shift
Components Covered by the Bursary in TVET Colleges • The bursary allocation for TVET colleges consists of the following: • Tuition Fees; and • Allowances (Transport and Accommodation) • This form of funding is channeled through NSFAS • NSFAS pays TVET colleges on a claim basis
Challenges and Solutions • Some colleges reported long queues • Mechanisms to reinforce pre-registration and the improvement of IT systems are explored • Some colleges reported disruptions during registration, e.g. Eastcape Midlands TVET College NEHAWU members disrupted the registration process • This matter was swiftly dealt with and additional support through trained provincial officials provided to the college • IT system failure reported at 3 colleges • These colleges are upgrading their IT systems and a special workshop on strengthening IT systems and reporting requirements was held with colleges on 3 February 2015 • Some colleges requested registration fees from students • Colleges are to streamline the bursary application process to the registration process • Students who afford and do not qualify for bursaries are encouraged to pay fees. Re-enforcement of communication in this regard is prioritised
