FET COLLEGES BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS

The allocation of funds is based on the following set of criteria:

• The approved Colleges’ Recapitalisation Business plans for three years were informed by the Individual Operation plan of each FET College.

• The approved one year Operational Plan for each FET College clearly demonstrates how the allocated funds will be utilised.

• Submission of the annual audited financial statements by the individual FET Colleges.

• Demonstration of their participation as Colleges in major infrastructure developments in the Province.

• Significant strategic focus on Free State Growth and Development Strategy.

• An illustration of growth in enrolment at FET Colleges with regard to youth development.

CHALLENGES• The Recapitalisation Funds were transferred to the

bank accounts of FET Colleges on 15 June 2006. Separate banking accounts have been opened by each College for this specific purpose.

• A two day planning workshop was held at the end of May 2006 to ensure timeous achieving of objectives during the year.

• Operational plans have been adjusted to ensure that the backlog of two months is addressed.

CHALLENGES (Continue)

• The availability of study material before the re-opening of Colleges in January 2007.

• Additional staff members will have to be appointed to enable the FET Colleges to offer the new NQF programmes, as well as the NATED programmes. The Engineering Field of Study will be problematic, as the existing programmes run for a trimester, and the new programmes will be year programmes.

CHALLENGES (Continue)

• The procurement processes could hamper the progress if it cannot be finalised within the given time-frame.

• Shortage of financial staff at FET Colleges are problematic as current staff are overloaded with additional responsibilities.

• The four FET Colleges are in the process to develop revised business plans to accommodate the transfer delay.
