dc.description.abstract |
Quality assurance has been a vexed and troubled journey for private providers in South
Africa in a complex and burdensome educational environment. It is well recognised that
private providers are significant role-players in the provision of education and training in
South Africa and the stated intention is to create a more enabling regulatory framework
The focus of this thesis is on the private providers at the post-school level. The quality
assurance regime was examined and contextualised to analyse what is required, and to
determine how the private provider is impacted by the regulatory requirements for the
establishment and operation of a private tuition provider in South Africa. The experience of
private providers, CEOs of professional bodies, ETQA managers and ETD practitioners was
investigated using a mixed methods research approach.
The conclusion is a call for a far more streamlined system with a centralised oversight body,
greater stakeholder consultation, less political interference and a deeper appreciation for the
contribution that private providers make to the education of learners in South Africa. |
