Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Teaching & Learning, Prof Rishidaw Balkaran, awarded the certificates at the last Qualifications Evaluation Committee (QEC) meeting which was held recently. Balkaran commended them for the excellent work they did in 2019.
A total number of 26 new qualifications were processed for offering in 2021.
The new Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework qualifications will now be submitted to the Department of Higher Education, Science and Technology (DHEST), the Council on Higher Education (CHE) as well as the South African Qualifications Authority for approval, accreditation and registration.
The QEC is a working committee to quality assure new programmes that will be submitted to the Council on Higher Education for accreditation or applications sent to the DHEST for the approval of Extended Curriculum Programmes. It will also ensure that the policy implementation is consistent with the university’s quality standards and requirements for the curriculum.
