PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON BASIC EDUCATION Presentation on: Provincial Infrastructure Programme ASIDI & SAFE 1
PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Purpose • National Development Plan • Background • Provincial Infrastructure Programme • ASIDI • SAFE 2
PURPOSE To present a progress report on Infrastructure planning and delivery as well as SAFE to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education. 3
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN “Ensure that all schools meet minimum standards for infrastructure and commit to progressively upgrading each school’s infrastructure to meet optimum standards.” National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011) 4
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN… “School infrastructure backlogs have been considerably reduced over the past 10 years. But many school environments are still not conducive to learning. The Department of Basic Education has committed itself to eradicating 496 inappropriate structures, providing basic water to 1 257 schools, providing basic sanitation to 868 schools and providing electricity to 878 schools in the 2012/13 financial year. To meet these commitments, the department will have to: • Find ways to deliver infrastructure and services more efficiently and cost-effectively • Improve the quality of information used for planning.” National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011) 5
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN… “Take learner safety into account when planning infrastructure.” National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011) 6
BACKGROUND • The sector provides infrastructure through three programmes; viz, the provincial programme, the Accelerated School infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI) as well as the Sanitation Appropriate for Education initiative (SAFE) • The Provincial Schools Build Programme is implemented by provinces and it targets the provision of basic services, new schools, additions to existing schools, new and upgrading of services and maintenance. It is funded through the Education Infrastructure Grant and the Provincial contribution through the equitable share. • The Accelerated School Infrastructure Delivery Initiative is a programme driven by the DBE to address school's infrastructure backlog on schools that do not meet the basic safety norms and standards. It is funded through the Schools Infrastructure Backlogs Grant. The purpose of the programme is for the eradication of schools made entirely of inappropriate structures and the provision of basic level of water, sanitation and electricity to schools. • The Sanitation Appropriate for Education initiative (SAFE) is a programme driven by the DBE to eradicate all pit latrines and other forms of unacceptable sanitation, provide safe and appropriate ablution facilities as well as address insufficient or inadequate sanitation facilities and maintenance of all ablution facilities 7
KEY AREAS • Construction, maintenance, upgrading and rehabilitation of new and existing infrastructure in education including district and circuit accommodation; • Provide infrastructure to match curriculum requirements; • Replace inappropriate schools; • Provision of basic services; • Address damage to infrastructure caused by natural disasters; • Extend existing schools with additional classrooms/facilities; • Address achievement of the targets set out in the minimum norms and standards for school infrastructure; and • Enhance capacity to deliver infrastructure in education. 8

MONITORING • Effective monitoring of the provision of infrastructure Professional Service Providers (PSP’s) and Implementing Agents (IA’s) that the Department of Basic Education and provinces are utilizing for the implementation of the infrastructure programme. • Monitoring addresses planning, budgeting, expenditure, procurement and project management. These are interrogated and a sample of projects are visited. Based on the findings from these visits, remedial actions are devised with the province and monitored by the DBE. • Monitoring deals with both programme and project matters; • Programme matters include: - The pattern of overall expenditure being achieved; - Comparisons of expenditure to projected cash flows; - Progress being made with key groups of projects [eg. Water, sanitation, libraries, laboratories, Grade R] - Management of the portfolio of projects [ie evidence that the programme of projects is being managed effectively through the project cycle]; 43
MONITORING (CONT.…) • At the Project level the focus is on ensuring: - that PSP appointments are being made; - that planning and design processes are progressing; - that the tender process for the appointment of contractors is progressing, that construction is progressing satisfactorily, [i.e. on programme, on budget, at acceptable quality…]; and - that projects are being handed over and closed out and that final accounts are being wrapped up. 44
