institutional, organisational and technical capacity.

• Expansion of Early Childhood Development (ECD)– Ensure universal access to Grade R and training of unqualified and under-qualified

teachers in the ECD sector.

• National Senior Certificate Results– To ensure that the National Senior Certificate (NSC) results improve in quantity and quality

through the provision of materials aimed at improving learning and teaching.

provinces to ensure that budget and systems controls are in place.

• DBE Support to Public Entities– Directorates that are directly linked to the service of the entities track support performance of the entities

in meeting their indicators. – The strategic planning unit assists the entities by analysing their APP and their quarterly reports.

• CEM DECISION ON ANA

CEM deliberated on the Annual National Assessments (ANA) and the events

of recent weeks. The Minister and the MEC’s considered all developments

around this matter and arrived at a decision that ANA should be written this

year.

CEM decided that the assessments will be written from the 1st to the 4th of

December 2015, and all provinces indicated that they will be able to go

ahead with the ANAs. In the DBE engagement with unions it was agreed that we would postpone

the assessments for a period of 90 days, the dates agreed at CEM are in line with that 90 day period as agreed. Even though we raised the possibility of writing ANA in February, CEM felt very strongly that it would be in the best interest of the learners and the administration if it is written this year. 75

REASONS FOR DEVIATIONS

Programme 1 : Administration Unspent : R2.780 million

The underspending on this programme is as a result of delays in the submission of invoices for the Department's server that resulted in the inability to finalise the processing of payments before the end of the financial year as well as saving in respect of office accommodation due to fluctuation of the unitary fee.

Programme 2 : Curriculum Policy, Support and Monitoring

Unspent : R142.542 million

The under-expenditure is mainly as a results of delays in the payment of volunteer educators on the Kha Ri Gude campaign (R108.783 million) due to the process of verification of learners registered, funds withheld for the Dinaledi Schools Conditional grant (R8.505 million) to the Limpopo province due to low spending and other (R25.254 million).

96


Programme 3 : Teachers and Education Human Resources Development and Management

Overspent : -R6.448 million

The overspending on this programme is due to the National Teacher's Awards expenditure that was higher than the available funds.

Programme 4 : Planning, Quality Assessment and Monitoring and Evaluation

Underspent : R802 000

There were no material variances on this programme.

Programme 5 : Educational Enrichment Services

Underspent : R21.334 million

The underspending on this programme is due to the transfer of funds withheld for the HIV and Aids conditional grant to the Limpopo province due to low spending.

• Compensation of Employees including Earmarked Funds1

The over-spending on Compensation of Employees is in respect the Salaries of NEEDU evaluators that was higher than projected.

• Goods and Services

The bulk of unspent funds on this item is related to delays in the payment of stipends for the last month of the campaign for Kha Ri Gude volunteer educators. The deviation on the items should have been more than reflected. The payment of school furniture is regarded as Inventory, therefore some payment for ASIDI operational expenditure affected the overall unspent balance on the item.

• Transfers and subsidies (Conditional grants to Provinces)

The under-spending is due to withholding of funds for the Dinaledi Schools conditional grant amounting to R8.505 million and the HIV and Aids conditional grant amounting to R18.651 million for the Limpopo province due to low spending.

• Payments of capital assets (building and other fixed structures)

The deviation on this item refers to the ASIDI project. The total allocation of ASIDI includes operational budget. Although this item reflects under-spending, school furniture has been paid under goods and services. School furniture is classified as inventory under goods and services. Therefore, the operational budget on the project did overspend on its allocated budget that was covered by the overall Departmental budget on goods and services.

AUDITOR-GENERAL REPORTThe Department receive an Unqualified audit opinion

Matters of emphasis were the following

• Accruals and payables exceeding 30 days deemed unauthorised expenditure – Accruals and payables that exceed the payment term of 30 days as required in

Treasury Regulation 8.2.3 amount to R329 928 000. This amount, in turn, exceeds the

voted funds to be surrendered of R167 458 000 by R162 470 000. The amount of

R162 470 000 would therefore have constituted unauthorised expenditure had the

amounts due been paid in a timely manner.

• Payables– The department received money from an implementing agent for infrastructure

expenditure incurred during the 2014/15 financial year without the approval of the

Minister of Finance or an official authorised by the Minister of Finance, and without the

agreement of the Department in contravention of section 66(2) of the PFMA. The

implementing agent deposited the money into the department’s bank account without

prior approval from the department and the expenditure incurred in this regard was

recorded by the department.
