Political economy and ideology are important determinants of educational development. The authors examine this in the South African context, using an approach which is in part dialogical, while paying special attention to the acquisition of foundational skills in the early grades. South Africa’s apartheid legacy, and the predominance of the upper secondary school-leaving certificate, shaped the policy discourse in ways that often marginalised the question of foundational skills.

The State of Play of Microcredentials: Mauritius

The PoMiSA (The Potential of Microcredentials in Southern Africa) project is a collaborative endeavour among leading Southern African and European universities, national councils, and strategic partners, aimed at exploring and leveraging the transformative potential of microcredentials within the Southern African region. The PoMiSA project aims to contribute to the advancement of higher education and workforce development in Southern Africa by unlocking the potential of microcredentials. Through collaborative efforts and strategic initiatives, the project seeks to establish a robust framework for the recognition, quality assurance, and regulation of microcredentials, ultimately fostering innovation, mobility and economic growth in the region. The project will systematically develop principles and policies for the recognition, quality assurance and regulation of microcredentials in Southern African countries. The PoMiSA project is pleased to release a series of country reports. These reports outline the state of play regarding microcredentials in each of the countries in which PoMiSA participants are based (Estonia, Flanders, Ireland, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, and South Africa).
