Making the NQF useful for LEARNERS

This discussion explores how National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) can be designed to better serve learners. It emphasizes that NQFs should celebrate diversity in qualifications rather than impose uniformity. Key drivers for reform include creating flexible pathways and ensuring transparency in recognition decisions. It encourages stakeholders—students, educators, employers, and trade unions—to actively engage in the NQF development process, while questioning their readiness to embrace the responsibilities that come with this initiative. Effective implementation requires careful consideration of the NQF's purpose and collaborative effort among all parties involved.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Making the NQF useful for LEARNERS

  2. Issues to consider • QFs are not about forcing uniformity, but explaining diversity – qualifications, profile, title, purpose, etc. • Drivers: reform (v description) of qualifications, social reform, flexible pathways/no ‘dead ends’, efficiency, transparency, better informed recognition decisions

  3. Issues to consider • National qualifications frameworks (NQF) - massive effort & time to develop & implement • Time to consider purpose, aims and nature of your NQF = time well spent • Major change succeeds if stakeholders believe in the change and in benefits of change • There is no single ‘correct’ way to develop a NQF

  7. Main discussion topics… • What are the practical aspects that make NQF useful for learners? (2 practical issues) • 2. What are the ways of achieving that? • 3. How can each stakeholder help in making NQF useful for learners? • Stakeholders: school students, students, employers, trade unions and teachers.

  8. Tricky questions • Are we, as stakeholders, ready to assume the roles and responsibilities that come with developing a NQF? • Do we have the necessary tools in place to implement a NQF? • Are we ready for a shift in thinking patterns? • Will 2010 be another date for formal implementation?

  9. Thank you!
