Our broad mandate is clear. On the demand side, the system must ensure that the skills needed to drive our country’s economic growth and social
development are delivered at an increasing rate, because available, quality skills will enhance both investment and service delivery. On the supply side, the
system must serve a growing number of both young people and adults; it must provide different entry points into, and pathways through the learning system;
it must provide quality learning wherever learning takes place – be it at a college, a university or in the workplace; and, importantly, it must provide easy
pathways across the different learning sites
