  • CASE STUDY the Delivery of the First Phase of the Two New Universities
    CASE STUDY The delivery of the first phase of the two new universities: Ronald Watermeyer, DEng (Witwatersrand), BScEng, Hon.FSAICE, FIStructE, FICE, FSAAE, PrEng, CEng, PrCM, PrCPM Director, Infrastructure Options Pty Ltd, Randburg, South Africa; Visiting Adjunct Professor, School of Construction Economics and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Introduction The process for establishing the new universities was initiated when the Minister of Higher Education and Training (DHET) appointed two task teams in 2010 to investigate the feasibility and possible models for the establishment of universities in the Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape Provinces. Following extensive consultation with stakeholders in these two provinces, the task teams submitted their reports to the Minister in September 2011, and subsequently to the Council on Higher Education (CHE) for their advice. The Minister of Higher Education decided to proceed with both universities in the conviction that universities are essentially national institutions and that a university in the Northern Cape would attract students from across the country and not only from the school system in the Northern Cape (NUPMT, 2018) In 2007, stimulated by government infrastructure funding, the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) embarked upon its first major capital expansion programme in over 20 years. Initially a traditional master-servant approach was pursued, which led to significant cost overruns, the full extent of which was only known months after completion. The client team decided to explore an alternative approach to delivering infrastructure based on long-term, collaborative relationships and early contractor involvement, underpinned by the NEC3 family of contracts. This approach produced a consistently reliable time and cost outcome over the R1,5b infrastructure programme (Laryea and Watermeyer, 2014).

Fierce competition between Higher Education Institutions in South Africa, increased government pressure to transform and declining government subsidies have forced Universities to increase the number of students as a means of increasing their income.

    Investigating the impact of postgraduate student drop-out rates at a higher education institute JS Myburgh orcid.org 0000-0002-1689-354X Mini-dissertation accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the North-West University Supervisor: Prof AM Smit Graduation: May 2020 Student number: 20412312 ABSTRACT Universities in South Africa are obliged to adhere to the South African National Planning Commission’s National Development Plan (NDP) by assisting students financially in order to complete their studies. Despite complying, universities experience high volumes of students who drop out at postgraduate level of studies after receiving university-funded bursaries. The objective of this study is on evaluating the financial impact caused by postgraduate students who drop out after receiving university-funded bursaries. Several variables are evaluated in order to understand the impact of these student dropouts. A literature study was conducted to obtain insight into the South African higher education environment, and to highlight the challenges faced by both universities and students. The empirical study conducted focused on the financial impact caused by the postgraduate student dropout rate notwithstanding their receiving university-funded bursaries. It also addresses the variances per demography and the relation to the allocation of these university bursaries. The findings from the empirical study show that a large sum of university-funded bursary money is lost due to students that drop out after receiving bursaries. In conclusion, universities need to address the recovery processes of bursary money from dropout student as well as the poor completion rates on postgraduate level. Key terms: bursary, dropout, higher education institution, postgraduate i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In acknowledgement, I wish to thank God for granting me the privilege and perseverance to complete my studies.
