The Administration programme provides the overall management and administration of the department. A total amount of R100.6 million has been allocated to the programme and it increases at an annual average rate of 4% to R115.7 million in 2012/13. The increase over the medium term is due mainly to inflation related adjustments and additional allocations for required computer services to the department. The department will remain in the Sol Plaatjie office building of the former Department of Education while the Department of Basic Education will occupy the new building. There are only 13 chief directorates responsible for five programmes which pose a challenge for the department in terms of implementing its strategic plan.
