South Africa\u2019s commitment to lifelong learning has led to the development of a national education and training system. The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) was created to meet this need by providing a clear and unified system for all qualifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By standardising qualifications, the NQF strengthens both the education and employment sectors. This makes it easier for learners and employers to understand and trust the value of different credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
