Department of Higher Education to pilot FET college lecturer programme



Higher Education minister Blade Nzimande says the department is trying by all means to improve the reputation of FET colleges.

He was speaking at a Local Government Sector Education Training Authority roadshow in East London on Friday.

He says the department has appointed qualified chartered accountants to be financial officers in the colleges to ensure better management of funds.

In addition he says the department is currently improving the standards of lecturers in government FET colleges.

"We are piloting a dedicated FET college lecturer programme. Today if you look at lecturers at FET colleges, some are school teachers, they saw a post in an FET college, they still think this is another high school.Colleges are not glorified high schools." says Nzimande
