REASONS FOR TABLING A REVISED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN FOR 2019/20

The current Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans provides a guideline to develop an Annual Performance Plan setting out what the Department intends to do in the upcoming financial year and during the MTEF period to implement its Strategic Plan. The Gauteng Department of Education has submitted its 2019/20 Annual Performance Plan to the Legislature on Thursday, 28 February 2019. The Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans, Treasury Regulations and the Public Service Regulations allows the Executive Authority to revise the Annual Performance Plan because of significant policy shifts or changes in the service delivery environment. The Management of the Gauteng Department of Education, under the guidance of the MEC presented the GDE’s Education Roadmap 2019 – 2024 and new mandate at a Consultation Summit held at NASREC Expo Centre on the 13 and 14 June 2019. Considering the new mandate, the Department revised its strategic goals and priorities to align to the Sixth Administration’s mandate. See revisions as set out in Annexure A.
