Umalusi Council sets and monitors standards for general and further education and training in South Africa in accordance with the General and Further Education and Training Quality Assurance Act.This conference will focus on the setting of standards in education and training, critical issues that inform standard setting for a diverse and unequal society whether that be in schooling, vocational education and training or adult education and training; the role of quality assurance, standard setting approaches and models, standards in qualifications; measuring equivalence; using assessment to inform standards; curriculum and practice as components of standard setting; the centrality of language competency as a requirement for achievement; educational challenges and good practice. While all these issues have immediate impact on South Africa’s education and training landscape, they also have relevance to other educational systems across the globe.
