EDUCATION DOES NOT MEET CHILDREN’S NEEDS
“ A response to an education experienced as too distant from the
needs of adolescence and youth, which secondly , is far from guaranteeing employment in the fastest growing
sectors of both the global economy and local economies”
UNESCO CONFERENCE
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
THE REALITY
EDUCATIONA discipline-based system- How much of a subject is relevant?- How does it articulate with other subjects?- Why in year chunks?
REAL LIFEA trans-disciplinary, interactive environment- Highly changeable- New areas
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
THE SOLUTION
A National Qualifications Framework that integrates all elements of the education
and training system to enable learner progress from any starting point
NQF
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
IF IT’S SO OBVIOUS, WHAT’S WRONG?

• We do not believe in the intellectual equivalence
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
THETA’S RESPONSE
• Operationalizing the South African HRDS & NSDS
• Ensuring implementation of the NQF by:– Creating Occupationally-Directed
Qualification Frameworks– Developing Providers to deliver it
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
THE DILEMMA
• Skills shortage and a crisis of scarce skills
• Association of Unemployed Graduates
• What is at the root of the problem?
Our People Skilled for a Sustainable Future
