EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following is a summarized version of the College achievements for 2013/14.

1. Key Achievements

The Waterberg TVET College managed to achieve a Certification Rate of 50% during the

November 2013 examinations, 22% more than the Provincial Rate.

The College is also doing very well to retain students - 87% of the students were

retained in the NC(V) programmes and 94% in NATED/Report191.

The College claim 100% of NCV NSFAS Allocation of R25,563,955 and also 99% of

NATED/Report 191 NSFAS allocation of R1 204 083,00.

The College launched the office of FASSET on the 6th February 2014. FASSET is the

lead in our College and will host all the SETA’s.

During the COSSA games of 2014, the College received 3 gold medals. The100m

Sprint Champion is from Waterberg TVET College.

2. Teaching and Learning Improvements

Through the support of JET Education Services, the following teaching and learning

strategies are implemented to improve the pass rate and certification at the end of 2014;

Training Lecturers on Lesson Planning, Classroom management, compiling POAs and

POEs were done in August and September 2014.

Maths Saturday classes are offered at the Engineering and Skills Training Centre.

Results for 2013 Examinations were analysed and killer subjects were identified. Centres

developed improvement plans for these subjects and the plans are implemented to

improve performance in the identified weak subjects.

The Curriculum Manager, Centre Managers and Education Specialists were trained on

Curriculum Implementation with a focus on monitoring and support to enhance the

quality of teaching and learning as well as quality assurance of assessment and

compliance with ICASS guidelines.


3. Student Academic Support Programmes

The focus of Student Support Services was on implementation of academic support

programmes such as remedial teaching and Peer Tutorials as well as placement of

students for workplace based exposure (WBE). The College placed 274 during March,

June and July 2014 College holidays. 96 students were placed on a Workplace

Experience Programmes for the duration of 12 months at different workplaces. The

programmes are funded by SASSETA, AgriSETA and ETDP SETA.

As part of the JOVC programme, two Japanese Volunteers were placed at the College to

assist Lecturers with Maths and Maths Literacy at the Business Studies Centre and with

Automotive Repair and preparations for accreditation of workshops at the Engineering

and Skills Training Centre.

To improve student’s English Language proficiency, debate competitions are held at the

College and are sponsored by Euphoria Golf Estate, one of the College partners.

4. Opportunities for Programmatic Growth in 2015

The Minister of Higher Education and Training in his Budget Speech on the 24th April

2012 announced that 12 new campuses attached to existing TVET Colleges will be built.

A new campus attached to the Waterberg TVET College will be built in Thabazimbi and

mining related training programmes will be offered to address the skills needs of the

community in Thabazimbi Municipality which is situated in Waterberg District and will

also benefit the people of Limpopo. The site hand-over was done in September 2014

cconstruction will commence in the same month.

The College is at an advanced stage of discussions to offer a Higher Certificate in

Animal Husbandry NQF Level 5 in collaboration with the University of Limpopo and

AgriSETA.

The College is also focussing on accreditation of the Mechanical, Welding and Electrical

workshops from MQA and MERSETA to offer Artisan training.

The College will be offer Accounting Technicians qualification (AAT) at Level 4 to ensure

the NCV Finance, Economics and Accounting Level 4 students get a chance to

specialize in an Accounting qualification.


Hospitality is one of the niche areas for the College and the College will therefore

continue to offer the Chefs qualifications and skills programmes that are quality

assured by the South African Chefs Association and CATHSSETA.

5. Linkages and Partnerships

College collaboration with other SETAs

ETDPSETA: The College is currently training 55 disabled students funded by

ETDPSETA, 10 are being trained for ICDL and 45 for IT End User Computing NQF L 3.

funded by AGRISETA. An MOU has been signed with Agri- SETA for students who

completed Primary Agriculture at the college to be funded for experiential learning

starting from the 1st October 2014.

HWSETA: As the custodian of the NCV Primary Health qualification, supports the

college and assist with placement of students.

MICTSETA: The SETA awarded bursaries for 3 years to 140 NCV and Report 191

students. The beneficiaries are students from the rural village of Ga-Ledwaba

Community, next to where our Engineering and Skills Programmes Campus is situated.

SASSETA: The SETA is funding internship for 96 students who completed their studies.

CATHSSETA: The SETA funded work placement for three (3) Lecturers in June/July

7. Teaching and Learning Targets for 2014

The College set a Certification Target of 56% (Improvement of 6%). The Remedial

intervention in Maths/Maths Literacy and English will continue in 2015. Results Analysis,

both exam and tests results on an annual and quarterly basis respectively will ensure

that ‘killer’/weak subjects are identified and improvement plans developed and

implemented.

The College will put the following strategies in place:

Setting of common and quality assessment tasks and internal examinations papers

by subject committees.

More emphasis on the moderation of assessments (both pre and post moderation).

Develop a time table that will ensure implementation of 60% practical component of

the curriculum.

Training lecturers on the use of and compliance with ICASS guidelines.

Monitoring of Lecturers’ POA’s and students POE’s.

Expose lecturers to industry, business and workplaces. A MOU has been signed with

ETDP SETA for funding of 15 Lecturers for this purpose and more funding will be

sought with other SETAs.

Training of lecturers in revised Curriculum and teaching methodology through VEOP

programme offered by the University of Free State.

8. Challenges Envisaged for 2015

a. Thabazimbi Campus:

The campus will only carry 500 students

The campus is 300km from Central Office

State of the art building, furniture and e-learning facility

Above will have financial implications as a 500-student enrolment already shows a

sub-economical campus that will result in operational constraints. If sites are

compared, students can demand the same facilities. Funding is therefore required for


the College to bring the existing Campuses infrastructure to the level almost closer to

the ‘state of the art campus’ that is going to be built in Thabazimbi.

b. Enrolment:

Over or under enrolment of students will have financial and operational

consequences for the College. Managing enrolment according to the operational

and strategic plans is vital for the College.

The College at this stage reached maximum capacity with regards to

infrastructure and growth at the existing campuses.

c. Simulation in niche areas:

The simulation centre that was built or Business Studies programmes is

currently utilized as offices, as a result of the College being challenged with

infrastructure.

d. Student Support :

There is a need and financial constraints to build student support centres and

libraries in all three of our campuses and multi-purpose halls at two

campuses.
