I, Bonginkosi Emmanuel Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation in terms of section 8(2)(e) of the National Qualifications Framework Act, 2008, hereby publish exceptions to the Determination of the Sub-Frameworks that comprise the National Qualifications Framework, Government Gazette No. 44031 of 24 December 2020.

 

These exceptions only apply to adult qualifications, namely, the General Education and Training Certificate: Adult Basic Education and Training (GETC: ABET), SAQA ID No. 71751 and the Senior Certificate (Amended), SAQA ID No. 15947. The exceptions are in respect of paragraphs 16 to 18 of the Determination of the Sub-Frameworks that comprise the National Qualifications Framework, Government Gazette No. 44031 of 24 December 2020.

 

The rationale for the exceptions is that the replacement qualifications for the GETC: ABET and the Senior Certificate (as amended) are not yet ready for implementation, namely the General Education and Training Certificate for Adults (GETCA) and the National Senior Certificate for Adults (NASCA).
