MQA DISCRETIONARY GRANTS BUDGET AND TARGETS The MQA has traditionally prepared its budgets based on Annual
Forecasted Revenue against Forecasted Expenditure. The MQA Budget Expenditure has always been higher than the expected MQA Revenue, i.e. Deficit Budgeting.
In the 2018/19 financial year the National Treasury has instructed
the MQA not to prepare a Deficit Budget and to: – Implement cost containment measures to reduce non-essential expenditure; – Significantly reduce discretionary grant commitments; – Explore other ways of operating efficiently.
In response to the above the MQA had to review some of the
discretionary projects, the review has seen some projects suspended for 2018-19. Targets and budgets for some projects were reduced

PROPOSED NEW SETA LANDSCAPE Key comparisons between NSDS 111 and the NSDP?
KEY FOCUS NSDS III NSDP
Life Span In terms of SETAs, 5 year life span –
licenses granted for the duration
Unlimited life span
Less uncertainty issues
Presupposes the continued role of SETAs
Focus More focused on strategic issues on
how to address skills development
challenges in all key sectors of the
economy
More strategic but also operational as it outlines all
mechanisms, priorities and outcomes that needs to be
attained. It also addresses challenges such as governance,
complicated administrative systems experienced by SETAS
Quality
Assurance
Function
SETAs exercised the function of quality
assurance mainly to accredit training
providers, ensure compliance through
monitoring and evaluation of training
provision and register assessors
• According to White Paper (PSET), SETAs and NAMB
will be responsible for QA related matters that only
pertains to workplace.
• The QA function will be integrated into QCTO to
consolidate its role and ensure provision of quality
occupationally directed programmes.
• Cost implications include the review of funding allocation
of skills levy which means reduction of funding in line
with reduced functions. This process is subject to
business case analysis to be carried out to clarify this
issue. In this context, SETAs might fulfill delegated
limited QA function which will be phased out from 2020
PROPOSED NEW SETA LANDSCAPE Key comparisons between NSDS 111 and the NSDP?
KEY FOCUS NSDS III NSDP
Monitoring and Evaluation Performance of SETAs was mainly
based on a quantitative approach
which was target driven in a such
a way that performance was mainly
based on reaching targets with little
considerations on making
meaningful impact to skills
development in respective sectors
Performance is based on attainment of
outcomes and impact within the sector. This
means measures will be put in place to monitor not
only attainment of targets but also consider a
qualitative approach to assess the extent of
achievement of outcomes and efficacy of skills
interventions in the broader context of the
objectives National Development Plan and other
related policies
Shared Services Model SETAs to set up their own systems
(HR, IT and regional offices) to
facilitate sector transformation
through skills development
A new model of shared services in which SETAs
will share resources such as HR, IT and regional
offices to ensure better resource utilization to
achieve economies of scale through reduction of
administrative costs. A process of business case
analysis will be undertaken to inform the scope of
such services as well the quality assurance
arrangements
PROPOSED NEW SETA LANDSCAPE Key comparisons between NSDS 111 and the NSDP? KEY FOCUS NSDS III NSDP
Partnerships • Encourage integration between
PSET system and the world of
work to meet local, regional
and national needs. Workplace
experience remains a
challenge
• SETAs, NSA, NSF and
QCTO were responsible for
specific tasks in the greater
scheme of skills development
with little coordination of
interventions and which led, to
some extent development of
silo mentality with resultant
duplication of efforts
• Foster stronger and closer cooperation between PSET
institutions and industry (curriculum design, delivery,
review) to ensure relevant and responsive qualifications to
meet individual, employer needs and broader development
societal needs
• To rationalize the system to ensure coherence across the
institutional skills development landscape by streamlining
the structures and the processes to reduce overlaps, ensure
better use of resources and achieve economies of scale
and collaboration. DHET to assume the role of bringing the
all partners into a skills development systems that is
integrated to inform better planning, funding, monitoring and
evaluation and reporting on the systems
• For SETAs it is necessary to intensify efforts for
partnerships, this demands reconfiguration of partnerships
and maximization of value going forward
PROPOSED NEW SETA LANDSCAPE Key comparisons between NSDS 111 and the NSDP?
KEY FOCUS NSDS III NSDP
Accounting:
Planning and
Reporting
In terms of planning,
reporting the current
planning cycle requires
SETAs to reports to the
Executive Authority
(DHET) in line with the
SSP framework
requirements
• In the new dispensation, the planning cycle will be aligned with the
overall planning cycle with particular focus on medium-term strategic
framework (MTSF), five year planning and Medium Term Expenditure
Framework METF) identifying priorities and outcomes, three year budget
cycle reflecting expenditure.
• The implications is that SETAs are expected to establish five year
priorities against defined outcomes, a three year budget against this plan
and submit APPs in line treasury regulations such as PFMA
• Institutional SETA performance management falls under DHET as well
as NSA to track the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of the work
done by SETAs. This means rigorous performance reviews will be
conducted on the SETAs on annual basis and de-establishment of the
non-performing SETA.
• Increased standardization of procedures and processes with regard to
SETAS function on occupational needs, awarding of grants, working with
branches within DHET, issuing of proposals for 3 year qualifications to
allow DHET to monitor progress and performance as well a
consequence management plan
PROPOSED NEW SETA LANDSCAPE Key comparisons between NSDS 111 and the NSDP?
KEY FOCUS NSDS III NSDP
Funding • Individual application systems for
services providers, training
providers (public and private) to
access for funding
• An investigation into to centralization of application
system for funding to promote priority programmes with
wider objectives, to improve the quality of learner data
system through development of solid data management
system which critical and necessary to be linked to
improvements made across DHET
• To ensure increased efficiency and effectiveness in a
manner that is consistent with principles of accountability
DHET intends to put in place a mechanism that ensures
that all eligible employers pay levies and see value.

Levy
Distribution
• 20% go to NSF
• 20% go to Mandatory Grant
• 49.5 % go to Discretionary Grant of which at
least 80% is allocated towards PIVOTAL
programmes (approximately 10% non Pivotal
and 40% pivotal programmes)
• 10% is allocated for SETA administration
• 20% of levy paid go to SETAs
• 10% of levy paid cover administrative costs of
SETAs to for organizational stability of which
1% will to the shared services
• 0,5 % allocated by SETAs to QCTO for QA
function of intermediate, vocational and
occupational programmes
• 49,5 % will go to SETA for a wide range of
programmes that support economic growth, job
creation and enable social development
• 20% will to NSF to fund programmes that seek
to address challenges faced by the poor
(historically marginalized and disadvantaged)

Other
Responsibilities
and Roles
• SETA responsible for
development of
learning programme
and accreditation of
training providers,
• Undertake Individual
and sectoral analysis
of workplace data to
have an understanding
of skills needs and
priorities in the sector
of focus
• Awards of grants was
the prerogative of
individual SETA
• SETAs are responsible for coordinating efforts to meet supply
needs
• This responsibility will fall under the remit of DHET which intends to
consult with quality councils such as CHE and QCTO, Universities
to ensure a more responsive curricula
• Centralized system of analysis of workplace data to take into
account wider objectives of economic growth, employment creation.
• The implications is that the analysis of workplace data is being
taken away from units within SETAs as the responsibility will lie with
DHET. Nevertheless, SETAs are expected to only collect data
from workplace skills plans/ATRs. SETAs will play a critical role in
encouraging partnerships between PSET institutions and
workplace, public and private partnerships
• Awards of grants will be centralized within DHET to increase
efficiency and effectiveness
