The Department has adopted a new service delivery model geared towards providing resources and support to EasternCapeSchoolsinanef cientandeffectivemanner. In the previous SDM there were 23 districts responsible for Corporate Services and Teaching and Learning activities. Each District of ce had varying levels of skills, facilities and infrastructure, together with multiple reporting lines for the district of ces. Some of the of ces are geographically remote and under such circumstances it was dif cult to provide quality support to schools. This will be dealt with through the development and implementation of the revised SDM.
The current 23 Districts were reduced to 12 and aligned and con gured with Municipal boundaries, to enhance intergovernmental relations and joint government programmes. A key focus of the SDM will be the strengthening of corporate capabilities and delegation to the districts of key management functions.
