Ms D Carter (Cope) to ask the Minister of Basic Education:

(1) Whether, in light of her budget speech, she has undertaken any audits on the national education infrastructure management system; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;

(2) whether she is now able to disclose the results of the last audit that was undertaken on the national education infrastructure management system; if not, why not; if so, (a) what were the outcomes of the audit and (b) are the relevant details?

Reply:

(1) The National Education Infrastructure Management System (NEIMS) was an audit that was completed in 2007. The system is being updated on a quarterly basis with information received from provinces

(2) The report was released in September 2007 and is available on the website of the department. To update the report, provinces assess schools where projects were completed and submit these assessment forms to the Department. In January 2010, 11 updated reports were published on the website of the department. The January 2010 update when compared with the September 2007 report indicates that there is progress in terms of providing basic services to schools.
