The two education departments must collaborate in areas such as the spread of enrolments and investments across secondary schools and Further Education and Training (FET) colleges, the smooth movement of learners from the schooling sector into post-school education and teacher pre-service training. • Department of Communications (DoC).

Promoting science and technology learning in schools is a key priority for the education sector and a number of joint projects with the DST are ongoing in this regard. • Department of Arts and Culture (DAC).

IDENTIFICATION OF DELIVERY PARTNERS. Unlike other outcomes which tend to focus on a single sector such as health, education or human settlements, outcome 12 spans the entire public service, across the three spheres of government. In the South African public service, the management of public finances, people, processes and technology has been decentralised to Executing Authorities and Accounting Officers. Each Minister, MEC, Mayor, Head of Department and municipal manager therefore plays a central role in achieving outcome 12: An efficient, effective and developmental public service. They are all therefore potential delivery partners. For logistical reasons and the fact that crafting Delivery Agreements is an entirely new process for government, this initial Delivery Agreement will focus on the departments and institutions at the centre of government which are responsible for leading the process of improving the efficiency, effectiveness and development orientation of the public service as a whole. The key delivery partners for outcome 12 include: Premiers’ Offices, Department of Public Service and Administration, National Treasury, Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Department of Public Works, Government Communication and Information System, Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, Department of Home Affairs Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Statistics SA State Information Technology Agency Service Sector Education and Training Authorities Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy Department of Home Affairs Sector Departments (Basic Education, Health, Social Development) There will be ongoing liaison and consultation with these and other departments once this Delivery Agreement moves to its implementation phase.
