Foreword
Foreword
It is a pleasure for the Department of Higher Education and Training (the Department) to present the eighth issue of Statistics on Post-School Education and Training in South Africa. The report provides statistics on 2017 student enrolment and completion (which are key measures of access and success), as well as other kinds of performance data pertaining to public and private
Post-School Education and Training (PSET) sectors. The report also includes statistics on staffing levels at PSET institutions, as well as information about Workplace-Based Learning (WBL), financial data, notably that pertaining to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), the National Skills Fund (NSF), the skills levy fund, and voted funds.
Previous statistical reports of a similar nature have been published by the Department since 2010, and can be found on the Department's website at .za. Statistics pertaining to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Community Education and Training (CET) colleges that cover the decade prior to 2010, can be found in statistical publications available on the Department of Basic Education's website at .za, and those pertaining to SETAs, on the Department of Labour's website at .za.
Unfortunately, this report does not include examination results for TVET colleges, CET colleges and private colleges, as has been the case in previous statistical reports. A separate report on examination results for colleges will be made available during the course of this year. It should also be noted that this report also excludes data from institutions managed by other government departments and state entities (such as that from Agricultural and Nursing colleges).
This report is available to all stakeholders and serves as an important resource for planning and the allocation of budgetary resources in the PSET system. It is a reference document for reporting purposes in government, including the monitoring and evaluation of the PSET system. In addition, it provides statistics for use in research, policy and decision-making at the different levels within the system, and by the public. It therefore makes a crucial contribution towards the achievement of the goals of the PSET system, and we hope that the data and information contained in this report prove useful to role-players at all levels of the PSET system, researchers, policy-makers, journalists and the community at large.
