FOREWORD BY THE CHAIRPERSON

This Annual Performance Plan (APP) sets out the path that NSFAS will follow in the 2015/16 financial year to reach its strategic goals. The APP builds on the work done in previous performance plans and continues the efforts of management and employees to provide an efficient service to students.

Added to this is a new objective aimed at strengthening stakeholder relations and communication by taking a more active role in seeking stakeholder feedback and monitoring stakeholder satisfaction levels as part of an integrated approach to client service management.

In this financial year NSFAS will renew its focus on raising funds and recovering loans in order to increase the pool of funds available for loans and bursaries. Furthermore NSFAS plans to strengthen its research capacity in order to provide policy inputs and thought leadership in key issues affecting the higher education sector.

We will also ensure that we provide a conducive working environment for our employees in order to drive performance excellence in our operations and to enable the implementation of our strategy.

--------------------------Prof. Themba Mosia Acting Chairperson: NSFAS Board

PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

1. MANDATE

NSFAS is responsible for:• providing loans and bursaries to eligible students; • developing criteria and conditions for the granting of loans and bursaries to eligible

students in consultation with the Minister of Higher Education and Training;• raising funds;• recovering loans;• maintaining and analysing a database; and• undertaking research for the better utilisation of financial resources and advising the

Minister on matters relating to student financial aid.

2. VISION

A model public entity that provides financial aid to all eligible public university and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students from poor and working class families.

3. MISSION

To transform NSFAS into an efficient and effective provider of financial aid to students from poor and working class families in a sustainable manner that promotes access to, and success in, higher and further education and training, in pursuit of South Africa’s national and human resource development goals.

The mission statement is made up of three distinct elements which describe why NSFAS exists, what we do, and the impact on our constituency:

• NSFAS exists to provide financial aid to eligible students at public TVET colleges and public universities.

• NSFAS identifies eligible students, provides loans and bursaries and collects student loan repayments to replenish the funds available for future generations of students.

• NSFAS supports access to, and success in, higher education and training for students from poor and working class families who would otherwise not be able to afford to study.

4. VALUES

External Values for our Students and Stakeholders:

Accessibility - We create an environment that allows efficient, effective and direct access to NSFAS and the funding it provides to eligible students. Transparency - We are open and honest with all students and stakeholders.
