1.1 Introduction The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education subscribes to the legislative mandates informing National and Provincial priorities. Against this background, cognisance has been taken of the “National Development Plan 2030”, and the “Provincial Growth Development Plan”, so as to provide a holistic, high quality service to its clients. In complying with THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2030, the education system needs to meet the following five priorities: • High quality Early Childhood Development Education, with access rates exceeding 90% • Quality school education with globally competitive literacy and numeracy standards. • Further and Higher Education and Training that enables people to fulfill their potential. • An expanding Higher Education sector that is able to contribute towards rising income, higher productivity and the shift to a more knowledge-intensive economy. • A wider system of innovation that links key public institutions (universities and science councils) with areas of the economy consistent with our economic priorities. The Province of KwaZulu-Natal is therefore making every effort to meet the mandates of the National Development Plan 2030. This can be done if the Province endeavours to improve: • the number of candidates passing the National Senior Certificate • the number of Bachelor passes • the number of candidates passing Information Technology, Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism, Computer Applications Technology, Sciences and Mathematics, amongst others. KwaZulu-Natal’s challenges in terms of poverty, unemployment and under-development are certainly not unique. On the contrary the rest of the country and indeed many developing countries in the world face similar challenges. For this reason the KZN Department of Education aligns its intended outcomes to the international and national policy contexts, namely the National Development Plan 2030, through the Provincial Growth Development Plan. In meeting and complying with national mandates, Provincial Growth and Development Strategies have a crucial role to play in giving effect to Government’s concept of a Developmental state, through: • Growth and Economy • Reducing unemployment • Eradicating Poverty • Ensuring greater Social Inclusion and Cohesion 16
SCHOOL’S REPORT 2012 NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (NSC) EXAMINATION Education will ensure that that the Provincial Growth Development Plan will provide the province with a strategic framework for improving the economic growth through developmental interventions, putting people first, particularly the poor and vulnerable, and building sustainable communities, livelihoods and living environments. The KwaZulu- Natal Department of Education believes that a holistic and effective education system will meet the social and economic demands of the country’s needs. The four pillars identified by the Department as being key to service delivery and fundamental to the Province’s growth, are: • Accountability • Planning and Monitoring • Early Childhood Development • Assessment 1.2 The relationship between the Provincial Growth Development Plan and Education Early childhood development, primary and secondary education are intrinsically linked to the Provincial Growth Development Plan. Education is regarded as fundamental to the aspirations of the province in relation to growth and development. The focus is placed on language literacy, mathematics and science abilities as these are key to economic growth and development. The goal of our education system must be to give every child an equal opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills values and attitudes to make a positive contribution in society. The Department of Education Strategic Plans has baselines set in 2010/2011 and projected to 2015. Educational challenges are reflected both in the low number of youth that finish school and in the poor quality issues as measured by the Department and articulated by various stakeholders. Specific interventions must target towards the many factors that result in the spatial inequalities in education particularly the unequal provision of educational infrastructure and materials, qualified teachers, and inequitable access to remedial and specialized education to learners with needs for these. Basic services such as water, sanitation and electricity must be provided to schools, the quality of management and school governance must be enhanced, and the quality of teaching and learning addressed. Under-performance cannot be tolerated. On issues of quality, the Department of Basic Education conducts Annual National Assessments (ANA) across the system and it is continually being refined. This provides a useful tool from which the province can learn about the performance of learners at Grades 3, 6 and 9 levels, and about the success or failure of the schooling system. In addition, matric results still serve as a comparative benchmark at a school leaving level – not just the pass rate, but actual numbers succeeding in particular areas. 17
