South Africa has instituted a new education and training dispensation, with the core drivers being the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), National Standards bodies and Education and Training Quality Assurance bodies (Olivier, 1998:ix). The SAQA Act (1995) enables South Africa to develop its own integrated National Qualifications Framework (NQF) accompanied by a supporting quality-assurance system. SAQA’s mission is to ensure the development and implementation of the NQF, which contributes to the full development of each learner and to the social and economic development of the nation at large. The NQF has been established to provide for the registration of national standards and qualifications. According to SAQA’s requirements, all qualifications and standards in South Africa must be formally registered by SAQA on the NQF by 30 June 2006. If qualifications have not been generated and approved by SAQA by this date, it means that neither providers nor learners’ achievements will be recognised. The SAQA Act (1995) and its Regulations (1998a:17) make provision for the establishment of Standards Generating Bodies (SGBs) to develop standards and qualifications. For this purpose, an SGB for Social Work was established in order to generate standards and qualifications for Social Work, including Social Auxiliary Work. |
