3.8.3 New Schools A total of 17 new schools are at different levels of construction. Ten of these schools are earmarked for completion in the current financial year. An additional 30 schools are in the different levels of designs and will be on site in the current financial year for completion in the 2013 MTEF. The rapid urbanization has exerted pressure on the Department to respond by providing learning space on an increasing basis while it ensures that rural communities are not neglected. The ambitious Cornubia Development has opened an opportunity for the department to support Ethekwini Municipality in realizing a sustainable community development through collaborative planning. Three schools are earmarked for the development with the first schools targeted to be completed in 2014. 3.8.4 Mud Schools In addition to the new schools, the Department has also replaced 54 schools which were built from mud structures in the province, largely in Umzimkhulu Municipal area which the province inherited from Eastern Cape Province. The communities in the affected areas can now send their children to schools to learn under dignified conditions. The Department is currently focusing on the replacement of isolated mud units which have been identified in some of the schools. 3.8.5 Curriculum Upgrades And Laboratories The changing curriculum has placed a huge responsibility on the Department to provide laboratories, computer rooms, workshops and media centres. Curriculum redress sub-programme is used to respond to this responsibility and is central in the improvement of the Mathematics and Science teaching in high schools. The Department is planning to decrease the distance to the nearest school with a laboratory until all schools have laboratories. A total of 240 special classrooms are planned for 2012/13 financial year. 3.8.6 Emergency Response Unpredictable weather patterns continue to disrupt the normal rollout of programmes and has had adverse impact on the schools in the province. The cost of these repairs has had to be borne by the Department of Education as the disaster fund only allocates a minimal amount to the rehabilitation of these schools. The consequence of this has been that the other equally important programmes had to be sacrificed in order to deal with the emergency situation at the schools. 3.8.7 Water and Sanitation The issue of water and sanitation continues to be a challenge. While the Department has built more than 1000 toilets seats at the end of the 2 nd quarter of 2012/13, and restored dignity to many learners and schools, sanitation service is still below the minimum functionality level. The ageing and resultant collapse of many pit latrines that were counted as adequate in the 2006 National Education Information Education Management System (NEIMS) survey has neutralized the departments pursuit of reaching zero levels of schools without water and sanitation in the province. In the last five years the Department has built more than sixteen thousand (16 000) toilets seats. 42
SCHOOL’S REPORT 2012 NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (NSC) EXAMINATION 3.8.8 Electrification The current reports indicate that there are 540 schools without electricity in the province. The fact that the other 5400 schools have electricity is a testimony to the department’s commitment to improving the quality of the education. The electrification programme continues to be rolled-out with assistance from the Department of Energy. In 2012/13 alone 34 schools have been fitted with solar panels. By the end of the financial year an additional 20 schools will be completed. The projection is that by 2014 all schools in the province will have electricity. Provision and maintenance of solar electrical systems by the department is receiving attention. However the rampant vandalism of the panels and battery storage is an area of concern that requires consolidated input of all role players. 3.8.9 Infrastructure: Early Childhood Development (ECD) Over and above the inclusion of ECD classrooms with all the new primary schools, there is a dedicated programme for the provisioning and supplying of ECD facilities. The department is busy with 669 classrooms and 2294 toilets seats for ECD over the current MTEF periods which are either at various stages of planning or construction, with 157 completed during the current financial year. It is envisaged that the target of 300 ECD classrooms will easily be met by the end of the current financial year. 3.8.10 Infrastructure: Education for Learners with Special Education Needs (ELSEN) and Full Service Schools (FSS) A dedicated programme totalling 177 schools (ELSEN or FSS) has 96 and 46 projects at various stages of planning and construction concurrently. Six (6) of the projects are large in nature with the provision of hostel accommodation and dining halls in addition to the specialist and general infrastructure accommodation requirements for ELSEN schools. The balance of the projects includes the building of support centres, addressing accessibility ramps, and general repairs and renovations. During this financial year, 17 projects have been completed. 3.8.11 Sports Fields All new schools are designed with the provision of sporting facilities. A sports field and normally 2 netball courts are being provided as the basic provisioning of sporting facilities. These facilities have also been incorporated with the planning of the Upgrades and Additions programme where space is available within the school sites. The Department is an active participant in the Infrastructure Development Improvement Programme (IDIP) which is funded by National Treasury. It aims to institutionalize forward planning and adoption of best practices as espoused by Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). The IDIP technical assistant is resident in the province and is attached to the Chief Directorate: Infrastructure Planning and Delivery Management. The role of the Technical Assistant is to interact with all levels of administration in the Department. 43
