Universities receive R19.4 billion for the 2011/12 financial year and R4.3 billion is allocated for Further Education and Training (FET) colleges. Furthermore, I expect the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development to bring a bill to the house this year to amend Schedule 4 of the Constitution, making FET colleges and adult education an exclusive national competence.
The Minister has recently been collaborating with relevant stakeholders within and outside the country on how we can partner in improving the quality management and curriculum development related issuesand skills shortage in the South African higher education and training sphere.
