Abstract The Objectives of this Audit research project for the Water Related Disaster Management (WRDM) Network of the FETWater Initiative were defined by two deliverables from the Assistant FETWater/WRDM Network Coordinator which were: Deliverable 1: Audit of relevant WRDM training and education courses and materials in South Africa. Deliverable 2: Identification of gaps and duplication in relevant graduate modules on WRDM at UFS, NWU, UCT, KZN, Rhodes and Wits. Recommendations to improve quality of current WRDM training. The audit scope and methodology used entailed going through the websites, yearbooks, Research Visit to some Universities and a Research Questionnaire sent to all surveyed Universities to verify any relevant WRDM training and education courses and materials. This audit methodology helped identify the Universities in South Africa which offer WRDM related training and education courses and materials, gaps and duplication in WRDM and generate recommendations to Improve Quality of current WRDM training and education courses and materials. Summary of Audit Results shows that all 23 universities offer some courses and modules with water or hydrology content curriculum but only a few offer courses, modules and programmes focused on relevant WRDM training and education courses and materials. The audit reveals that there is no University with a Faculty, School or Department for Disaster Management or WRDM but Universities have established Units, Centres or Institutes under these faculties, schools or departments which run academic and research programmes in Disaster Management and WRDM training and education courses and materials. This administrative location has implications in the way WRDM training and education is programmed. The audit reveals that Academic and Research programmes in relevant WRDM training and education are at diploma, undergraduate and post graduate level and short courses, although the majority of universities are running these programmes at post graduate level. The Audit shows that most of the Units, Centres and Institutes running WRDM research and academic programmes are in need of adequate staff with a strong knowledge and research base in the field of disaster management to initiate and sustain university WRDM training and education courses and materials. The audit shows that almost all Universities which are not running Disaster Risk or WRDM training have Centres for Environmental Management or faculties, schools, departments, units, centres or institutes which can include Water Related Disaster Management (WRDM) training and education courses and production of materials in their curriculum. This audit research has not identified significant gaps and duplication in relevant graduate modules on WRDM training and education in the Universities surveyed because of the difference in academic and research focus and most of the WRDM programmes are postgraduate level which accommodates few courses and modules. This research project has made recommendations on how to overcome the current gaps and duplication that exist and how to improve quality in relevant graduate modules in WRDM training and education through increased collaboration, consultation, networking and funding at institutional and national level. Recommendations given in this report are part of the process that should be put in place to eliminate gaps, duplication and improve quality of current WRDM training and education. 3 2. Introduction The structure of this Research Report was designed to achieve the objectives of the project as defined by the deliverables for the Water Related Disaster Management (WRDM) Network of the FETWater Initiative which were: Deliverable 1: Audit of relevant WRDM training and education courses and materials in South Africa. Deliverable 2: Identification of gaps and duplication in relevant graduate modules on WRDM at UFS, NWU, UCT, KZN, Rhodes and Wits and Recommendations to improve quality of current WRDM training. The first part of this report shows the list of the 23 Universities audited with their websites. This list was arrived at after consultation and comprehensively represents the official public universities in South Africa which fall within the scope of this FETWater and WRDM Network research project. The second part of this report is a detailed presentation of the audit results for each University with all its Faculties, schools or department. Each University is presented highlighting all existing Faculties and Schools or Departments, Units, Centers and Institutes which offer Water or Hydrology, Disaster Management, Disaster Risk Management or any relevant Water Related Disaster Management (WRDM) droughts, floods, waterborne diseases, cyclones research and academic courses, modules or programmes. The brief analysis and recommendation for each University in relation to the Water Related Disaster Management (WRDM) training and education and materials is presented at the end of each audit analysis. The recommendation for each University were arrived at after going through the websites, yearbooks, research visit to some Universities and response from the Research Verification Questionnaire sent to all Registrars of Universities surveyed. The third part of this report is on the Audit Findings for each University, identified gaps, duplication and recommendations made after linking WRDM training and education courses and materials in relevant graduate modules on WRDM. Recommendations are suggested on how to overcome gaps, duplication and improve quality of current WRDM training and education courses and materials in the universities in South Africa. The last part of this report is the Conclusion to this research project and a presentation of the Verification Questionnaire used in the Research. 4 3.

    ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study Among Selected Historically Black Universities (Hbus)

    Mar. 2006, Volume 3, No.3 (Serial No.16) US-China Education Review, ISSN1548-6613,USA Bridging the Digital Divide and the Use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study among Selected Historically Black Universities (HBUs) and Historically White Universities (HWUs) Osunkunle, Oluyinka Oludolapo* University of Limpopo, South Africa Abstract: It has become common place for students in historically white universities (HWUs) in South Africa to have 24 hour access to computers, the Internet, e-learning facilities, check results online and even register online. However, historically black universities (HBUs) are still battling to have access to these facilities. On a macro level, the issue of lack of access to basic ICT facilities or digital divide exists. This is evident in the fact that developed nations like U.S.A and Switzerland have significant access to ICT, while under-developed nations in Africa like Ethiopia and Congo do not enjoy considerable access. On a micro level in South Africa, digital divide still exists. Even the divide exists among South African Universities as students in historically white institutions like Pretoria, Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities enjoy unlimited access to ICT facilities like computers and the Internet. However, the reverse is the case in HBUs where access rate is very limited and personal observation bears this out as most historically black institutions like the University of Fort Hare, University of Limpopo, and University of Zululand, just to mention a few are still battling with the issue of access to ICT facilities. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted to examine the present ICT status / capacity of HBUs compared to what exists in HWUs in South Africa.
