The aim of the National Skills Development Framework is to facilitate, monitor and coordinate skills development activities within the Department of Education. For purposes of this National Skills Development Framework, we define the national Department of Education and the nine Provincial Departments of Education as the Department of Education. In terms of this Framework, skills development refers to education, training and development activities designed to help employees and future employees gain knowledge, skills and attitudes that would improve their performance in the positions that they currently hold and improve their future prospects. This Framework applies to all areas of skills development within the Department of Education. The Framework provides for a focus on the following categories of employees and future employees within the Departments of Education: institution-based educators; office-based educators; public servants (all levels); and applicants and potential applicants for Departmental posts.
