Governance Structure

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) directs the activities of the Khanya project through a governance structure consisting of:

• Steering Committee: Chaired by the Superintendent General of the WCED, the Steering Committee meets occasionally to determine Khanya policy and direction, and to readjust the vision of Khanya as and when determined by changing priorities. The other members of the committee are drawn from senior officials within the Provincial Administration of the Western Cape.

• Executive Committee: Chaired by Mr Brian Schreuder, this committee consists of various stakeholders within the WCED. It meets once a month and monitors project expenditure, project progress and gives direction on day-to-day implementation issues.

• Internal Project Management: The project is managed by a project manager who maintains a fairly flat organizational structure. The project structure also reflects a matrix, determined by region and function. The main functions in Khanya are:
  
  
  • Project Support
  • Technology Implementation
  • E-school Establishment
  • Funding and Public-Private Partnerships
