I agree with Catherine. Looks a lot like more of the same and, in the process, the SETAS will continue to channel an enormous amount of private sector funds into the public sector education system at the expense of independent private providers. State control remains the dominent theme and it has already destroyed large amounts of private initiative and done little to address the real skills shortages. As far as apprenticeships go that looks a lot like full circle.

I saw it coming for awhile, and eventually the awful decision time is here. I have declared a voluntary liquidation for my business, and it is only voluntary because we are probably a few days ahead of our creditors setting their lawyers upon us.
I owned a franchise business as well as the speaking and training I do professionally, and it was the franchise business that has gone under.
The full Umgeni river thundered and surged around and over the mighty rocks in Graveyard rapid, as we paddled hard for the finish of 1986 Dusi Canoe Marathon. The rear cockpit of our blue racing K2 kayak was cracked from an earlier spill in the tricky uMzinyathi rapid. Suddenly the brown water threw our craft towards the Graveyard’s final obstacle a huge, partially submerged rock.
I remember, many years ago, when tea leaves were used to make tea. A teapot often came with a beautiful snug cover, called a tea cosy, just to keep the teapot warm. There was even a mini industry - where the local grandmothers would compete with each other to create the best and most beautiful tea cosies .
Tea making was an art, and many long discussions went around the process. Some people warmed the pot first, others put their tea in first - others the hot water. There were rules for the amount of time that tea must steep, before it was ready for pouring.
I opened my personal email account to check my mail. To my surprise i received 4 emails from so called recruiting companies requesting my CV, a good copy of my ID, as well as any other documents, such as certificates and / or reference letters, that can support my application.
There is a rumour that Warren Buffet went to a fifteen-course Japanese banquet and ate nothing – because he only eats spaghetti, hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. But do CEOs need to be charismatic, people-pleasing demagogues just because an empire rests on their shoulders?
Steven Kaplan, Mark Klebanov and Morten Sorensen recently completed a study called “Which C.E.O. Characteristics and Abilities Matter?” In it, they looked at 316 CEOs and their companies’ performances, and discovered that people skills have little or nothing to do with running awesome companies.
What might the future hold for private universities in South Africa? What makes a private university credible?

New Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, has signalled his intention to look into university curricula in an effort to make them more relevant to South Africa.
“Curriculum is a deep, deep challenge – it is one of the most immediate things that we’ve got to tackle,” Nzimande said this week.
“While it relates to the international, global world, it is also a curriculum that is rooted in our own reality in terms of culture and developmental priorities.
