The department is currently reviewing the policy framework for improving teaching and learning so as to produce quality graduates. Discussion will be held with institutions for higher education and relevant stakeholders to explore the viability of a university in Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape and by the end of March 2011, a report will be submitted to the Minister for his approval. The Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) will be strengthened to provide data of students entering and leaving the higher education landscape. The Minister will be reviewing the shortfall of accommodation in universities and more than 20% of funds allocated to universities are dedicated to infrastructure development.
