NSA hosts the last leg of the public hearings on the NSDS and SETA landscape in Polokwane

The NSA in partnership with Provincial Skills Development Forums (PSDFs) hosted public hearings in all Provinces to ensure the mobilisation of business, government, community and labour to take full ownership of the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) and SETA landscape.

The objectives of the provincial public hearings were:

  • To solicit recommendations on the NSDS and SETA Landscape beyond 2018.
  • Update the Provinces on post-school education and training related policy matters.
  • To monitor progress on the implementation of the NSDS III
  • To understand the challenges facing each Province with respect to the post- school education and training needs

The National Skills Authority (NSA), together with the Limpopo Provincial Skills Development Forum (PSDF) successfully hosted the last leg of the public hearings on the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) and Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) at Polokwane in Limpopo.

Limpopo was the ninth last province to host the 2016 NSA and PSDF public hearings.

The other public hearings were held as follows:

PROVINCE DATE
GAUTENG 24 February 2016
EASTERN CAPE 25 February 2016
WESTERN CAPE 26 February 2016
NORTH WEST 29 February 2016
MPUMALANGA 03 March 2016
NORTHERN CAPE 07 March 2016
FREE STATE 11 March 2016
KZN 14 March 2016

These public hearings have indeed provided an opportunity to the NSA and its constituencies to consult and engage on matters that will ultimately inform the vision of the NSDS and SETA landscape within the context of an integrated and differentiated post school education and training system beyond the year 2018.

Limpopo delegates emphasised that the proposed changes should improve effectiveness and efficiency of the system and not lead to job losses.

Representatives from SETAs, Government, Business, Education and Training Providers, Community Constituencies, Professional Bodies, Unions and the general public made part of today’s consultations on the NSDS and SETA landscape beyond 2018. Stakeholders were encouraged to submit their written submissions as per the government notice issued on 10 November 2015.

The NSA will conclude the consultation process with a roundtable to be held on 05 April 2016. The roundtable discussion is aimed at playing a special role of allocating an open platform of directly engaging views from specialised skills development bodies or oganisations in a robust manner.
