We exceeded the target ratio of instructional and research staff to support staff in 2023. We achieved
a ratio of 1:1.36, surpassing the
target of 1:1.20. While this indicates
a sufficient level of support staff for our academic staff, a more nuanced analysis is planned. We will delve into the distribution of support staff across different departments and faculties to identify any potential imbalances.

We failed to reach the target for third stream income in 2023. We achieved R105.3 million compared to the target of R114.4 million. This shortfall requires immediate attention to ensure a sustainable financial future.
Therefore, a deeper analysis is needed to identify the reasons behind the underperformance. We will explore factors such as the effectiveness of current commercialisation efforts, industry engagement strategies, and the marketability of our research outputs.
