c) Further Education and Training Colleges . Accommodation: Shortage of student accommodation remained a serious concern for all the colleges visited. A massive infrastructure rollout programme should be considered to expand access in FET colleges as they served rural communities which were widely dispersed. . Outstanding results / certificates: Outstanding certificates and pending results remained a serious concern for students in FET colleges. The Department should ensure that it does not miss its cut off date of 28 February 2013 in issuing all outstanding certificates. All the pending results should be released urgently to allow students to enroll for the next level. . NC(V): Poor pass rate in the NC(V) programme remained a challenge in all the colleges visited. One of the reasons cited were delays in the delivery of ISAT and curriculum changes to lecturers. The Department should deliver NC(V) material timeously to allow lecturers and students to properly plan Internal Continuous Assessment marks. Lecturers should be capacitated in relation to curriculum changes in engineering and natural science subjects to be implemented in 2013. . FET Programmes: Colleges were concerned about instability in the sector caused by lack of programme clarity. The Department should finalise review of programmes. . Leaking of examination questions papers: The Department should improve its security system for examination question papers. . Quality of examination question papers: The Department should pay serious attention to the quality of NC(V) and Report 191 exam question papers. . NSFAS: Late transfer of the NSFAS bursary allocation to FET colleges remained a serious concern. Actual transfer of 30% upfront payment should be done earlier so that colleges can be able to give student transport money and meal vouchers. . Financial exclusions: No academically deserving poor student should be excluded from any public university or FET college if he or she owed fees at the institution. Students should be given an opportunity to complete their studies and only then can a university demand money owed by the students. . Admission policy for foreign students: The Department should consider developing a policy to guide and regulate admission of foreign students at FET Colleges. Report to be considered.
