6 In this regard, nine Community Education and Training (CET ) Colleges, in each province have been established. This new institutional type complements the 50 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET ) Colleges and the university sector that has in the past two years increased by three more universities to make a complement of 26 spread across all nine provinces. alongside these institutions, there are 21 Sector Education and Training authorities (SETas) which are responsible for both understanding sectoral economic skills needs and support education and training initiatives. In order for the Department to be able in effectively managing the entire Post-School Education and Training sector, the Vocational and Continuing Education and Training Branch has been reconfigured and split into two delivery Programmes namely, Technical and Vocational Education and Training, as well as Continuing Education and Training.

7 Through this aPP, the Department aims to progressively achieve the outcomes identified in the 2014-2019 mTSF. as we strive to deliver on the mandate, the Department will periodically assess the impact of its interventions in the system to ANNUAL PERFORMANCE plan - 2016/173ensure precision in our plans. In order to do this, the Department will continue to monitor expected delivery by the system as reflected in the delivery targets in respect of universities, TVET Colleges, CET Colleges, as well as SETas. The Department has been making meaningful progress over the years and I am therefore confident that through the implementation of this aPP, the Department will move to the next level.

SITUATIONAL POST-SCHOOL EDUCATION AND TRAINING SYSTEM AT A GLANCE literature on the skills development and employment discourse argue that limited opportunities for quality Post-School Education and Training (PSET ) are increasingly placing a risk on the country s ability to generate a sustainable skills-base and reduce high levels of unemployment. By implication, South africa s economic growth prospects are also threatened by a lack of involvement in the job market due to inadequate, or the lack of skills of its youth.

9 According to the Statistics South africa 2014, Quarter 1 statistical release on the national and Provincial labour market on youth, the prevalence of youth unemployment and under-employment is partly a consequence of inadequate job opportunities within the labour market. lack of skills and work experience are some of the contributors to the current youth unemployment rate - an increase of over 3% since soaring levels of investment in skills development over the last decade, South africa still suffers from a lack in the supply of skills and the exclusion of the over million youth that are not in employment, education or training (often referred to as the nEETs), from economic address these challenges, the minister of higher Education and Training has committed in his delivery agreement with the President of the republic of South africa to realise the delivery outcomes of Government, highlighted in output - a credible institutional mechanism for labour market and skills planning.

10 This provides the basis for integrated forecasting and planning in addressing the skills pipeline as a whole within the context of a long, medium and short-term set of recent adjustment of the size and pattern of the public education and training landscape, at different levels of the post-schooling system, in line with the policy prescripts of the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training 2013 (hereafter referred to as the White Paper), is aimed at ensuring alignment of education and training provision with the country s socio-economic needs. This breakthrough forms part of the building blocks in the realisation of the Government s delivery from the above-mentioned landscape changes and in pursuit of increasing access to PSET opportunities, a key strategic objective for the Department of higher Education and Training (hereafter referred to as the Department), has seen the establishment of nine Community Education and Training (CET ) Colleges, one in each province.
