2.5 Development 2.5.1 The programme provides needs-based development services to all offenders, but the target in relation to skills development and production workshops could not be reached. Only 3 924 of the targeted 7 058 offenders participated in skills development, while only 1 608 of the targeted 1 890 participated in production workshops 2011/12. The main reason for the poor performance was the shortage of technical educators, artisans and other professionals for provision of skills development. 2.5.2 All education-related targets were achieved during the 2011/12 financial year. Eight facilities were registered as full-time schools, and the target for offenders participating in Further Education and Training (FET) programmes was exceeded, largely owing to some DCS regions establishing partnerships with external FET colleges thus ensuring increased enrolment. 2.5.3 Section 40 (1) of the CSA provides that "sufficient work must as far as practicable be provided to keep prisoners active for a normal working day". Inmates may be compelled to do such work. Although the DCS has vast tracts of agricultural land, and an inmate population of approximately 160 000, it still could not succeed in reaching its agriculture programme-related targets. Reasons for the under- achievement included dilapidated machinery and staff shortages owing to inappropriate shifts systems.
