HEQSF REVIEW
• 14 December 2012 – MHET approved QCs
gazette individual sub-frameworks
• January 2013 CHE CEO issued revised HEQSF
– institutions can submit according to either
HEQF or HEQSF for accreditation
• SAQA proposed gazetting 3 sub-frameworks
simultaneously (March / April 2013)
PURPOSE OF HEQSF ALIGNMENT
• Bring all HE qualifications onto a single integrated
national framework (NQF)
• More rungs for HE to occupy – move from 6 to 9
qualification types
• Offers a nested approach to qualification design:
qualification types / designators / qualifiers etc.
• Intended to simplify HE and make it more flexible
