Financial analysis summary

i. RevenuegrewbyR129,7m,whichtranslatesto 18% relative to the 2016/17 financialyear. This is as a result of a reallocation of

The grant regulations set the DG levies to 49.5%, which led to a 29.5% increase in levies that TETA utilises for projects. As a result, TETA developed a revised project model which has been operational since the 2013/2014 financial year. The model incorporates the multi-year funding principle, which ensures that the impact of each project implemented is traceable over the project lifespan.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, Iconfirmthefollowing:

AllinformationandamountsdisclosedintheARareconsistentwiththeAnnualFinancialStatements(AFS)auditedbytheAGSA.

TheARiscomplete,accurateandfreefromany omissions.

The AR was prepared in accordance withthe guidelines on the AR as issued by theNational Treasury.

TheAFS(PartE)waspreparedinaccordancewith the Generally Accepted AccountingPractices (GAAP) that are applicable toTETA.

TheAccountingAuthority(AA)isresponsiblefor the preparation of the AFS and for thejudgementswithinthestatements.

TheAccountingAuthorityisalsoresponsiblefor establishing and implementing a system of internal control. This system was purposefully designed to provide reasonable assurance on the integrity and reliability of the performance information,thehumanresourcesinformationandtheAFS.

The external auditors were engaged to expressanindependentopinionontheAFS.

In our opinion, the AR fairly reflectsthe operational, human resources andperformance information, as well as thefinancialaffairsofTETAforthefinancialyearthatended31March2018.

Yours faithfully

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.

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.

Page 33: 2017/18 · THE PUBLIC ENTITY’S GENERAL INFORMATION REGISTERED NAME: Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) HEAD OFFICE: TETA HOUSE Physical address: 344 Pretoria Avenue,

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.

The unit improved the efficiency of theallocation and disbursement of bursary funds.MoUswillbesignedwithHEIsinsteadof signing individual contracts with students. A total of 631 bursaries were allotted, thevalueofwhichamountedtoR102,692m..

3.4.2. Education Training Quality Assurance (ETQA)

The ETQA Unit continued to successfullyprovidecapacitybuildingworkshopsacrossthe nine provinces, focusing on qualityassurance-related issues and updates onQualityCouncil forTradesandOccupations(QCTO)matters.

The unit facilitated the realignment process with the aim to convert the historically registered qualifications into occupationalqualificationswithinthevalidityoftheexistingqualifications.Partqualificationswillalsobeincluded in the realignment process.

In line with our strategy of TVET collegecapacitationfordeliveryofourprogrammes,theETQAunitinitiatedlecturerdevelopment

3.4.3 Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E)

ThePM&EUnitcontinuestoembedMonitoringandEvaluation(M&E)practicesandconceptswithin theorganisation toensure thatM&E isnot just seen as a compliance exercise. It israther utilised to enhance the performance of the organisation, achieve results, and ensurecontinuous improvement in service delivery.

The unit initiated the use of operational plans to provide a detailed execution plan that details how the respective business units will contribute to the achievement of the organisation’s overall strategicgoals,byachievingunit-specificAPPtargets.

The unit intensified review measures andinternal controls in line with the National TreasuryFrameworkforManagingProgrammePerformance Information and in collaboration with the Skills Development and LearningProgrammes(SD&LP)Unit.This is toensurethat reported performance information on predeterminedobjectivesisusefulandreliable.

Theunitwillfinaliseitsend-of-termevaluationinthefirstquarterofthe2018/19financialyear.Theprimaryobjectiveoftheevaluationwillbeto assess whether TETA programmes haveachieved the intendedgoalsof theNSDS III,throughitsstrategicobjectivesandAPPtargetsoverthepastfiveyears(2011-2016).

3.4.4. Aerospace Chamber

The Aerospace Chamber continues todrive the aviation sub-industry’s agendafor transformation through innovative skillsdevelopment and training interventions. This is in partnership with relevant stakeholderscomprising: government, organised labourandorganisedemployers,aswell as trainingproviders.

Currently,ourmainfocusistofundpilotlearnerstoprogressfromafrozenAirlineTransportPilotLicence (ATPL) (1000 hours) to a full ATPL.Our funding is therefore channelled towards assisting learners to log the required number offlyinghours.

Compared to the 2016/17 period, theperformance of the chamber improved significantly, due to an aggressive andinnovative contract management approach. The chamber is striving to reach the point of a 100%disbursementratebythe2018/19year.Poor contract management by stakeholdersand cancellations however remain some of our majorchallenges.Asa result thereof, stricterstakeholderdeliverycapabilityassessment,aswellasduediligenceandmonitoring,arenowbeing enforced.

Someofourmostsignificantaccomplishmentsin the 2017/18 financial year, includethe successful accomplishment of high disbursement-andcompletionratesoflearningprogrammes. There was an increase in aviation stakeholderparticipationinskillsdevelopmentactivities, and an improvement in customerrelationshipswith our stakeholderswithin thesector.

Inthenewfinancialyear,wewill intensifyourefforts to support aviation transformation,rural development and coordination of skillsdevelopment within the Northern Cape, toenhanceTETApresenceintheprovince.

3.4.5. Forwarding and Clearing Chamber

In response to the introduction of new customs legislation from the World Customs Organization (WCO), the business unitfacilitated the development of the occupational qualificationforCustomsComplianceManager,atNQFLevel7.

The main challenge that impacted the performance of the chamber, was the delayin allocation of the trade test date, which inturn delayed the completion of apprenticeship programmes.

Toacceleratetheprovisionofskillsdevelopmentwithinthesubsector,thechamberwillberollingoutthefollowinginitiatives:

• AssistingWorldMaritimeUniversity (WMU)graduatestoobtainSAQA- recognisedMaster’sdegrees;• Capacitating subsector employees to use the automated loading system which includes utilisation of high speed cranes and bin locations;• Continuing with engagement of subsector stakeholdersintherealignmentofexisting qualificationswiththenewQCTOmodel;• Redoublingeffortstoreducestevedoring- relatedaccidents,throughtheprovisionof safety programmes; and• Implementing road safety awareness programmes in rural areas.

3.4.7. Maritime Chamber

The chamber retains a strong customer-centred service delivery model and supports thesectorthroughMGandDGsystemswithinthe frameworkof thepolicyenvironmentandthe broader transformational agenda.

The chamber places substantial focus on the earlystagesof theskillspipeline,suchasforexample,careerawareness,maritimeschools,facilitationofaccesstobursaries,learnershipsandentrytocadetships.Inthiscontext,threehigh schools that offer maritime subjects,were included in the TETA Adopt a SchoolProgramme.

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.
