Please scroll down the discussion - SAQA presentation now attached.
Congratulations to Dr Julie Reddy - the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
I have long held the view when you need difficult conversations to be held, and difficult decisions to be made - appoint a woman.
SAQA has two. Board Chairperson Professor Peliwe Lolwana, and now CEO Dr Julie Reddy are certainly two women who have a rocky road ahead of them.
You will have read the news report posted by Lynel Farrell in the Concerned Providers group - thanks Lynel.
Now for a further update I suggest that you listen to the presentations to the Higher Education and Training Portfolio Committee, given by these two appointees.
The presentations give updates on the retrenchment process, the outcome to date, the restructuring of the roles of SAQA, and the new organisation chart. Well worth listening to. Skip past the NSFAS presentation and join in at 1.29.55
