The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) is mandated by the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Act, 67 of 2008, to advance the objectives of the NQF, oversee the further development and implementation of the NQF and to co-ordinate the Sub-Frameworks.
One of the objectives of the NQF is to facilitate access to, and mobility and progression within education, training, development and work. In this regard Section 13(1) (m) requires SAQA to provide an evaluation and advisory service in respect of foreign qualifications, consistent with the NQF Act. The NQF Amendment Bill also confirms SAQA’s role in the verification of national qualifications.
To give effect to preserving the integrity of the NQF, and to provide a more complete evaluation and advisory service, SAQA, in consultation with DHET and the Quality Councils, developed this draft Policy on the Misrepresentation of Qualifications. The Policy defines what is meant by misrepresented qualifications; provides a framework for dealing with individuals and providers who misrepresent qualifications; and defines the roles and responsibilities of the different role-players.
SAQA encourages all stakeholders who directly or indirectly engage with qualifications, are in the education and training sector, in the police services or judiciary, have knowledge of the SA legal system, are employers, or have an interest in curbing the proliferation of misrepresented qualifications, to engage with this draft Policy and submit comments to SAQA within 30 days of its publication.
Comments should be sent to Ms Nireen Naidoo, Director: Office of the CEO ( [email protected] )
