Lifelong learning and professional development in 'Residential Universities': Implementing the 'White Paper on post-school education and training'

Abstract

This is a compilation of key documents from the four year action research project between the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) which seeks to implement the transformational agenda of the White Paper on Post-School Education and Training (MHET, 2013) which challenges education and training institutions to re-think approaches to teaching and learning. The research findings provide useful insights particularly for residential universities, but may also have application for other education and training institutions.
