The Department’s budget structure is based on its organisational structure and consist of 5 programmes that represents the Branches in the Department. The programmes are as follows:
1)AdministrationOverall management and administration
2) Human Resource Development, Planning and Monitoring CoordinationProvide strategic direction in development,
implementation and monitoring of departmental policies and the HRD strategy
3) University EducationDevelop and coordinate policy and regulatory frameworks for an effective and efficient university education system. The branch also provides financial support to universities, NSFAS and National Institutes
4) Vocational and Continuing Education and TrainingPlan, develop, evaluate, monitor and maintain national policy, programmes, assessment practices and systems for vocational and continuing education and training including TVET Colleges post-literacy adult education and training
5) Skills DevelopmentPromote and monitor the national skills development strategy. Develop a skills development policy and regulatory framework for an effective skills development system
10
Structure, Budget and Expenditure Trends
• The budget also includes “direct charges” which are amounts reflected that constitute a direct commitment from the National Revenue Fund in terms of specific legislative requirements and are not defined as Voted funds such as for the above 5 programmes. The “direct charge” for the Department is the Skills Levy revenue collected by SARS for the SETAs and the NSF
• For the 2014 MTEF the Department’s budget (excluding direct charges) increases at an annual average rate of 6.8 %, from R34.3 billion in 2013/14 to R42 billion in 2016/17
• The amount of R36.9 billion for 2014/15 is an increase of R2.5 billion (nominal increase of 7.4%) on the 2013/14 allocation, excluding direct charges
11
Structure, Budget and Expenditure Trends
• Direct charges (the Skills Levies for SETAs and the NSF), increases at an annual average rate of 9.5% from R12.3 billion in 2013/14 to R16.1 billion in 2016/17
• The Department’s budget is dominated by Programme 3: University Education, which represents 83% of the budget in 2014/15. As a result, transfer payments also dominate the budget in terms of the economic classification of expenditure
• Normal Departmental services (excluding university transfers, transfers to public entities and other organisations, conditional grants and earmarked funds) represents only 1.5% of the budget

Financial Information
21
• Department acknowledges the current fiscal constraints of Government
• This has numerous challenges in itself, but also has a serious impact on the service delivery requirements of the Department
• Department is unable to attain the growth requirements within the PSET system in terms of enrolments, infrastructure development, increased operations and student support
• Limitations are placed on Departmental operations due to the capping of compensation of employees and the inability to roll out the new staff establishment as well as regional presence
• Institutional monitoring and evaluation is limited to critical areas• Reliance on NSF project and donor support such as the funding of
the activities of the National Artisan Moderation Body• An immediate pressure is the management of the TVET and AET
function shift as well as cost implications for examination services and the development of the Central Application Service
Key Budget Pressures Facing the Department

Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
FUNCTION SHIFT•In 2009 the President through a proclamation established the Department of the Basic Education and Department of Higher Education and Training. The Department of Education had to be subsequently disestablished•The proclamation assigned the Higher Education, Further Education and Training (FET), Adult Education and Training (AET) and other related legislation to the Minister of Higher Education and Training •It was clear that the Minister would also be responsible concurrently with MECs of Education in Provinces for FET and AET functions
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
34
FUNCTION SHIFT•In 2010 the MECs for Education mandated the Minister to amend legislation to take over full responsibility for the FET and AET functions•The following steps were put in place:-Requesting the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs to begin the process of the amendment of the Constitution-Amending the FET and AET legislation so that all the powers and functions allocated to MECs and Heads of Education Departments be assigned to the Minister and Director-General-Signing of Protocols between the Minister, MECs, DG and Heads of Department with regard to the process of effecting the function shift from Provinces to the Department
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
35
FUNCTION SHIFTThe following legislation process was undertaken:•The FET Amendment Act 2012 and the FET Amendment Act 2013 were enacted with transitional measures allowing for a phased implementation of the legislation•The Constitutional Amendment was approved by the National Assembly but was not put to vote•During 2012 and 2013, some of the sections of the amendment acts were brought into effect, that is all sections other than those relating to the employ of lecturers and Provincial staff linked to FET College functions
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
36
FUNCTION SHIFTThe following challenges have emerged:• While the major functions have been effected to the MHET
and DG, no funds have followed the functions• The function shift was to have been effective from
1 April 2014, but was delayed due to the lack of progress on the identification of funds to follow the function shift
• In terms of the Division of Revenue Act, the Minister and Department does not have control over the functions, these are still located within a conditional grant and direct allocations to the Provinces
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
37
FUNCTION SHIFTThe following would be the consequential implications for the function shift:• The Department would have to perform many of the FET
functions without funds• The Department requires funding in this financial year to be
ready to take over the full functions for FET and AET, namely the transfer of 38 000 personnel from Colleges and Provinces to the Department which has currently about 1 000 staff
• Implications for the setting up of an administrative system to manage the 38 000 staff, their files, payroll systems and for about 400 office-based personnel, their files, payroll and assets
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
38
FUNCTION SHIFT•The Select Committee is requested to note that:• Provinces will have to ensure that they abide by the terms
of the Protocols signed and submit the necessary annexures to the protocols which are long overdue
• They still have a constitutional responsibility for the functions until the funds related to the functions are identified and transferred
• The Minister and DG will be pursuing all necessary steps to ensure that the function shifts with funds (Minister of Finance, MECs, DG of NT, etc.)
Programme 2: HRD, Planning and Monitoring Coordination
