Manage episode 455940440 series 3624544
The National Qualifications Framework Act, 2008, establishes a comprehensive system for the classification, registration, publication, and articulation of quality-assured national qualifications in South Africa. It outlines the responsibilities of the Minister of Education and the Minister of Labour, the role of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), and the functions of Quality Councils (QCs) for different education sectors. The Act aims to enhance access to education and training, promote quality assurance, facilitate learner mobility and progression, and address past inequalities in education and employment opportunities. It also includes provisions for the governance and operational framework of SAQA and its board, while repealing the former South African Qualifications Authority Act of 1995
