Seeing the picture
• A map of the province provides a graphic and immediate overview
• District level analysis, data on schools, teachers, learners, international comparisons and the budget allocations provide a useful resource base

Summary of Key Findings• Highly differentiated system
– Size and shape– Socio-economic context– Performance
• There are many interventions targeting the right issues, but they remain uncoordinated
• Human resources are key but supply, utilisation and development planning minimal
• Districts are key to school based support
![Page 22: A Picture Tells a Thousand Stories: Mapping inequality in education in KZN Volker Wedekind UKZN People’s Summit for Equal Education, 2011.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f495503460f94c6af65/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Data
• Reliability• Enrolment data central to the system
– Funding– PPN– Supply planning– Infrastructure– Efficiencies and throughput
• SA SAMS, LURITS, Persal• EMIS resources key
![Page 23: A Picture Tells a Thousand Stories: Mapping inequality in education in KZN Volker Wedekind UKZN People’s Summit for Equal Education, 2011.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f495503460f94c6af65/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Seeing the big picture• We need to see how the parts make up
the whole• Silos within the department must be
broken down• Resources should be directed to specific
areas of need• Recognise and deal with the differentiation
![Page 24: A Picture Tells a Thousand Stories: Mapping inequality in education in KZN Volker Wedekind UKZN People’s Summit for Equal Education, 2011.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f495503460f94c6af65/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Recommendations• Better data and analysis needed• District organisation and resourcing• Better planning and linkages into other role
players• Resourcing formulae need to be reviewed• Short course for management• Teacher development• Rural schools need a specific plan• Curriculum support• Research
![Page 25: A Picture Tells a Thousand Stories: Mapping inequality in education in KZN Volker Wedekind UKZN People’s Summit for Equal Education, 2011.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649f495503460f94c6af65/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A small step
• EduAction has started making data available on every school in KZN
• Interactive maps show where schools are, what their status is, their performance and their infrastructure
• Aerial photos are attached to most
• See www.schoolmaps.co.za
• We can do the same at a local level
