STRATEGIC GOAL
NARRATIVE
In support of the drive to provide quality secondary education in maritime studies at high school level, the purpose of the initiative was to develop standardised course material / textbooks for the subject maritime economics. The material was devel-oped independently of TETA support, however support for printing and distributing the textbooks was required to make the project viable. TETA funding was effected; the textbook was formally launched and the project was successfully implemented.
PART BPERFORMANCEINFORMATION
1. AUDITOR’S REPORT: PRE DETERMINED OBJECTIVES
ThefinalAGauditforthe2017/18financialyearhasbeenfinalised,refertotheauditor’sreportforconclusionsonAOPOfrompage80to85.
2. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
2.1. Performance delivery environment
The transport sector is at the heart of South Africa’s economy, growth and socialdevelopment. Given the low level of tertiary education in this sector, innovative skillsdevelopment solutions are critical. This will ensure that the sector responds proactively and satisfactorily to national and global demands for both infrastructure and human resources development(HRD).
SouthAfricahasamodernandwell-developedtransport infrastructure. The air and rail networksarethelargestonthecontinentandthe roads are in a good condition. The country’s ports provide natural stopovers for shipping to and from Europe, the Americas, AustralasiaandboththeEastandWestcoastsofAfrica. The transport Sector is technology-drivenand dynamic, which makes it vulnerable tomany risks associated with obsolescence ofskills and technology. TETA must thereforeremain attuned to the latest developments in its environment and continuously develop new strategiesto:
• Ensure that it’s technology remains relevant;• Enablecutting-edgeHRDprogrammes; and• Providetherightskills,attherightlevels.
Some of the priorities that government identified for the sector include job creation,social and economic development, whichwill in turn affect the competitiveness of the country’s economy as a whole. These issues are addressed in the launch of Operation
Phakisa by the Presidency, which focusesonunlockingtheeconomicpotentialofSouthAfrica’soceans.
Demand and supply of labour in the sectoris highly affected by socio-economic andpolicy factors such as education levels and government regulations, i.e. Broad-BasedBlack Economic Empowerment (BBBEE).TETAand itssubsectorsplayakey role (asa support sector to all other sectors) in thecountry’s development and growth strategy,asoutlinedintheNDP.
TheWSPandAnnualTrainingReport(ATR)surveys employ limited samples for skillsdemand estimations and therefore do not capture emerging sectorial trends accurately. Participation of transport companies in the WSP/ATR surveys remains a challenge toTETA. The traditional education institutionscannot meet the sector’s skills demandadequately. Smaller and privately owned training institutions seem to be in a more advantageous position to accommodate sector content in their curricula than traditional education institutions. The TETA SSP for2018/19 recommends that the sector buildsthecapacityofkey training institutions,suchasuniversitiesandTVETcolleges,todevelopcurricula that are relevant to the sector’s requirements.
TETA is faced with several obstacles thathinder full delivery of its mandate relating to the servicing of the transport sector as a whole.Someoftheseinclude: • Thegrowingdemandforskills;• Alackofsufficientfundingforskills development; and• The high costs of training in some industries,suchastheaviationindustry, for example.
The taxi industry and a few other subsectors are still not participating sufficiently in skillsdevelopmentanddedicated,focusedturnaroundstrategies must be developed to counteract this issue.
TETA - Annual Report 2017/18

Ingeneral, the levy incomefromthetransportsector is still low, which calls for increasedadvocacy on the part of management and all our stakeholders.
2.2. Organisational environment
TETA recognises the importance ofcontinually reviewing and realigning its structure, processes and systems to newnational policy directives and emerging trends, to ensure optimal performance andsustained change. To accomplish this, theauthorityexecutesthefollowinginitiatives:
• Ongoing organisation development to ensuretimelyidentificationand correctionofdeficienciesinstructure andalignmenttostrategicobjectives;• Enhancement and entrenchment of research,monitoringandreporting functionsforefficientcollection, interpretation and analysis of credible data to establish a robust information system and ensure quality executive decisionmaking;• Executing strategic interventions that areinlinewiththeoutputsofTETA strategyplanningsessions,stakeholder meetingsandotherforums,toenhance deliverymechanismsandresources, such as policies and ICT systems; and• Review,formulationandestablishment ofpolicies,strategicgoalsand performance measures that are aligned tonationalsocio-economicdevelopment objectives.
2.3. Key policy developments and legislative changes
TheMinister ofHET, in consultationwith theNSA, re-established the existing 21 SETAsfrom 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020, withjurisdictionas indicatedundersection9(1)(b)oftheSDA,readwithGovernmentGazette,No39260of6October2015,andasamendedbyGovernmentNotice,No.336of18March2016,throughGovernmentGazette,No.40505of15December2016.
Again, after consulting with the NSA, theMinister also promulgated and extended theNSDSIIIasindicatedinschedule1from1April2018to31March2020,throughGovernmentGazette,No.40505of15December2016,withjurisdiction as indicated under section 9(1)(a)and22(2)(b)oftheSDA.
2.4. Strategic outcome-oriented goals
In the 2017/18 financial year, all TETAinitiatives to fulfil its skills developmentmandate were driven by the following strategicgoals:
Strategic Goal Description
Strategic Goal 1 EstablishaCredibleTransportSectorInstitutionalMechanismforSkillsPlanning,CreateandSustainResearchCapacityonLabourMarketswithinTETA.

Cause of underperformance Remedial strategies
Poorcontractperformancebystakeholders.• Stakeholdertrainingoncontracttermsand deliverables to ensure greater understanding of contract terms and greater compliance thereto.
Lackofdeliverycapacityandcompetencybycontractedstakeholders.
• Stricter assessment and due diligence exercises to ascertainstakeholdercapacityandskillstodeliveron applied for interventions. • Stricterperformancerequirements,toensurethat performanceisrewarded,andnon-performanceis accompanied by the necessary repercussions.
Misalignmentoftimingbetweencontractdurationandreporting period with completions lagging behindreportingcut-offdate.Mostlearnershipprogrammesareconcludedafterthefinancialyear-endandcanthereforenot be reported on in the relevant year.
• Speedier conclusion of contracts will ensure that projectscommenceearlier,whichwillinturn contribute to faster delivery and conclusion within the given reporting period.
There is a high dropout rate of learners for variousreasons.
• Introduce more bridging programmes to ensure that learnersareatthecorrectlevelsofknowledgeto undertakethecorrecthighlevelinterventions.
Manualperformanceinformationmanipulationintroduceserrors in reporting and compromises information integrity.
• TETAintendstointroduceonlinecapturingof stakeholderinformation,atthesource.• Enhancement of information systems and internal validation processes.
Poor quality of submitted learner information/claims.• Stakeholdertrainingonlearnerinformationcollection, compilation and presentation of evidence.

9. Inpreparingthefinancialstatements,theaccounting authority is responsible for assessing the Transport Education and Training Authority’s ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters relating to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the accounting authority either intends to liquidate the public entity or to cease operations, orhas no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor-general’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
10. My objectives are to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’sreport that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high levelof assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with the ISAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if,individually or in aggregate, they couldreasonablybeexpected to influence theeconomicdecisionsofuserstakenonthebasisofthesefinancialstatements.
