The Department of Higher Education and Training recently released its report statistics on Post-School Education and Training in South Africa in 2022. The 13th in the series, this extensive report provides valuable statistical information on various aspects of the PSET landscape, including student enrollment and completion and other performance data. Additionally, the report contains detailed statistics on staffing levels at PSET institutions, Workplace-Based Learning and financial data. Stakeholders are encouraged to make use of this report for effective planning, budget allocation, and reporting within the PSET system. The report is a critical resource for informed decision-making, strategic planning, budgeting and continuous improvement within the higher education and training sector.

PSET CLOUD has been recognised as a promising practice by UNEVOC

JET Education Services (JET) and the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (merSETA) have initiated the Post School Education and Training Collaboration and Learning Opportunities and Utilisation of Data (PSET CLOUD) programme that seeks to develop an integrated national digital ecosystem which is interoperable, can be used for effective skills planning and provisioning, and puts information in the hands of citizens and other stakeholders so they can make informed decisions about education, training and career opportunities.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: PSET CLOUD MVP

JET Education Services (JET) and the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (merSETA) have initiated the Post School Education and Training Collaboration and Learning Opportunities and Utilisation of Data (PSET CLOUD) programme that seeks to develop an integrated national digital ecosystem which is interoperable, can be used for effective skills planning and provisioning, and puts information in the hands of citizens and other stakeholders so they can make informed decisions about education, training and career opportunities. The purpose of the programme is to enable the government and citizens to make informed decisions relating to education, training and work. The programme seeks to ensure that data sets are interoperable, well synchronised and used effectively as sources of information for planning and improving efficiency in the PSET system as well as for individual decisions. In pursuit of this goal, the programme will establish a digital ecosystem that will strengthen, integrate, coordinate, improve efficiencies and solve challenges in the governance and management of the PSET system. The PSET CLOUD programme has six workstreams that include governance, partnership, advocacy, monitoring and evaluation, and the development of an interactive platform, all of which support the achievement of the PSET CLOUD goals.

Reclaiming self-sovereignty for all South African citizens’ data by 2030 This paper consists of eight vignettes, followed by a concluding section. Each vignette has been contributed independently and they do not necessarily link to each other in a logical sequence. Four key questions do however run across the contributions: - How can the South African education and training system be reset in a way that allows it to leapfrog many of its contemporaries? - How can the key ideals of open, fair, and self-sovereignty be realised? - What developments are already in place that can be strengthened and combined? - What new governance models exist, and how can they be realised in the South African context? As authors we invite robust engagements with our contributions and trust that this paper will provide an important anchor point for discussions addressing unemployment in South Africa through the development of digital platforms. We strongly advocate that these discussions are underpinned by an awareness of and respect for individual data privacy rights, enhanced interoperability across data systems, and new thinking on the recognition of learning through digital credentialing.

PSET SCENARIOS 2021-2030

Reos Partners, in partnership with JET Education Services and the  Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (merSETA), have published a guide on scenarios to align skills supply and demand through interoperable data platforms. The four scenarios offer alternative possible trajectories into the future as a provocation, inviting you to expand your ideas about how the current situation might evolve. We hope that doing so will help you discern what you may need to anticipate.
