Education in South Africa

The Department of Education
South Africa has a single national education system which is organized and managed largely on the basis of nine provincial subsystems.
The Constitution has vested substantial powers in the provincial legislatures and governments to run educational affairs (other than universities and technikons) subject to a national policy framework.In terms of
the Constitution, the national Department of Education is responsible for matters that cannot be regulated effectively by provincial legislation, and also for matters that need to be coordinated in terms of norms and standards at a national level. It has to prepare government policy on education and training for the country as a whole.
Relations with provincial departments of education are guided by national policy, within which the provincial departments have to set their own priorities and implementation programmes. The Department’s role is to promote the translation of the education and training policies of the Government and the provisions of the Constitution into a national framework.
The national Department provides active assistance to provincial departments in strengthening their administrative and professional capacity. Co-operative government is the theme of national-provincial relations.
Council of Education Ministers
This Council, consisting of the Minister of Education, the Deputy Minister of Education and the nine provincial Executive Council Members for Education, meets regularly to discuss national education policy, share information and views on all aspects of education in South Africa, and coordinate action on matters of mutual interest.
