PPN for Tvet Colleges: PPN in Education
The implementation of the Post Provisioning Norms (PPN) Model in TVET Colleges marks a critical shift in aligning staffing structures with institutional needs. However, the process has faced several challenges that have delayed its full execution. These challenges include criminal record verifications, employment of foreign nationals, integration of security personnel, issues surrounding provident funds and medical aid schemes, and qualifications of existing staff. A collaborative approach between stakeholders is essential to overcome these obstacles and ensure a smooth migration.
The PPN policy seeks to support the implementation of section 20 of the CET Act, authorizing the minister to establish posts, within a structure that are remunerated in accordance with the departmental budget and strategy. This policy is enforceable by the minister via the public service Act, holding the college principals accountable and responsible for the implementation of department HR Policies and Procedures.

The technical working group reported that the following challenges identified delayed the implementation of the PPN migration:

The PSA maintained that those employees must not be disadvantaged but transparent processes must take place.
Employment of foreign nationals:
It was reported that foreign nationals employed at various colleges would be placed and matched after their work permits are verified and confirmed with the Department of Home Affairs. Those with fraudulent documents will be blocked by the system. The PSA requested the number of affected staff members in this regard.
Creation of security posts
It was reported that the security posts were not included in the PPN structure and there were discussions about insourcing the current security services into the colleges. The matter will further be discussed at the upcoming Public Service Summit.
Provident Fund and Medical Aids:
It was reported that the staff members who are part of the various provident funds are eligible to join the Government Employee Pension Fund (GEPF). They can make transfer arrangements with the GEPF in that regard. The staff members with different medical aid will not be forced to join GEMS but they will not receive the government subsidy in that regard.
