Abstract

From text: The articles in this Special Issue of Perspectives in Education were originally presented  as papers at a conference held by Umalusi in May 2012 on the theme Standards in education and training: The challenge. Umalusi is the Quality Council responsible for setting standards for General and Further Education and Training in South Africa and for assuring their quality. In addition to developing and managing the quality of the sub-framework of qualifications for General and Further Education and Training, Umalusi ensures that quality assurance policies exist and are implemented, and advises the Ministers of Education on matters relating to the qualifications it certifies. Umalusi is currently responsible for the certification of the National Senior Certificate (NSC), which replaced the Senior Certificate in 2008 (this qualification is currently being phased out), the National Certificate Vocational (NCV), which commenced in 2007, and the General Education Training Certificate (GETC).
