For output 7, the expanded Public Works MinMEC will oversee the implementation of the programmes and the Implementation Forum will receive progress.

GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING ARRANGEMENTS. The details specified in this Delivery Agreement agree are all reflected in the Action Plan, which also contains many additional details with respect to the way forward for the sector, including the planning modalities to be used. The national Minister provides the leadership for the process of bringing about large and lasting changes to South Africa’s schooling system. The highest governance team for this process is the Council of Education Ministers (CEM), a well established body with its roots in the National Education Policy Act of 1996. In the terminology of the planning system envisaged by the Presidency, XXX is the ‘implementation forum’ for outcome 1. The members of CEM are the national Minister and the national Deputy Minister for Basic Education, plus the nine Members of the Executive Council (MECs) for education in the provinces. Moreover, the 17 national Ministers other than the Minister of Basic Education who are signatories to this agreement are invited to send representatives to the meetings of CEM, in particular when matters pertinent to their departments are on the CEM agenda. The operational decision-making needed to fulfil the mandates of CEM rests with the Heads of Education Committee (HEDCOM), also established in terms of NEPA. The members of HEDCOM are the Director- General and Deputy Directors-General of the national Department of Basic Education, plus the nine heads of the Provincial Education Departments (PEDs). Moreover, HEDCOM includes a number of sub-committees dealing with specific matters such as school infrastructure and curriculum, which advise HEDCOM and include relevant government and non-government stakeholders. HEDCOM is the ‘technical implementation forum’ for outcome 1. The 17 national departments listed as delivery partners in this agreement are invited to send representatives to the meetings of HEDCOM. In fact, this should regarded as a requirement when matters pertinent to the departments concerned appear on the HEDCOM agenda. The Delivery Agreement and the Action Plan constitute the overriding guidance documents on which a number of other plans and budgets must be based, specifically the strategic plans of the ten departments formulated in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), the provincial budget statements, and the annual performance plans of the nine provincial departments. The principal responsibility for reporting on progress against this Delivery Agreement (and the Action Plan) rests with the De...

GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING ARRANGEMENTS. The Council of Education Ministers (CEM), chaired by the Minister of Higher Education and Training, established under the National Education Policy Act, 1996 will form the Executive Implementation Forum for this delivery agreement. This Forum is also regulated by means of an Implementation Protocol concluded between the Minister and the Education MECs in terms of the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act. The Committee of Heads of provincial education departments (HEDCOM), which is chaired by the Director-General: Higher Education and Training shall constitute the Technical (Administrative) Forum. Below the Steering Committee, there is the HEDCOM sub-committee on FET Colleges and ABET. This committee is structured in such a manner that all the stakeholders are represented formally or on invitation. The SETA Forum will need to be more formally established and brought into conversation with the above structures through the DHET. The role of the National Skills Authority will also need to be mainstreamed, together with the HRD Council – in a manner that has yet to be designed. The Quality Councils have a central role to play in the delivery of these outputs and they too will need to commit to delivering key outputs in line with the outputs identified in this document.
