NW1908E REPLY: (a) Only the University of Johannesburg submitted an approved plan and strategy for the phasing in of the minimum norms and standards by June 2016.

The Department is developing a process to monitor compliance as part of its implementation of the new Macro Infrastructure Framework (MIF).

Universities will be required to upload relevant policy documents, plans and reports on the MIF.
(b) 14 Universities reported on their level of compliance with the norms and standards on student housing and 11 universities reported on their student housing target achievements but did not specify their compliance to the norms and standards on student housing.

The University of South Africa was not required to report on student housing as it is a distance education institution.
