2.4 Programme 4: Development The DCS had hoped to involve 22 000 offenders in formal education programmes, but this target was not reached. Only 15 130 students enrolled. This was partly due to the DCS not meeting the Departments of Higher and Basic Education's requirements for its facilities to be registered as fulltime schools. Targets as far as participation in sports and recreation, as well as skills development programmes were also not met. Shortages of funds as well as operational challenges related to the implementation of the LOGIS system, and the failure to procure fertiliser, seeds, pesticides and vaccines timeously resulted in food production targets also not being met. Although the number of offenders involved in agricultural activities increased from 2 471 to 2 960, the number of those participating in production workshops had decreased. Though the report does not state it explicitly, the decrease in participation in workshops may be ascribed to staff shortages.
