PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This Qualification will contribute to empowering learners and increasing awareness within the framework of gender equality and women's empowerment within various contexts. The Qualification also provides learners with a formal qualification that allows for recognition, further education and training opportunities at various levels as well as continued professional and personal development.

Gender training and empowerment is a key element in raising awareness of the negative impact of unequal gender relations on education, health, economic and political participation. The focus of training is also on teaching women about their rights and developing strategies in order to promote and protect these rights; as well as understand the different ways in which men, women, boys and girls experience armed conflict and the benefits of women's involvement in conflict transformation and peace-building processes. Gender-transformative education can also contribute to reducing gender-based violence, respecting women's rights, changing the images, attitudes, and stereotypes conveyed by media, as well as to analyse events, facts, issues and data from a gender perspective.

A person acquiring this Qualification will be able to:
  • Communicate effectively using a range of strategies to identify and deal with gender inequalities and women's empowerment issues.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles, concepts and theories of gender equality and women's empowerment.
  • Identify and select appropriate gender practices and processes for transformation of gender relations in organisations, programmes and projects.
  • Promote and support gender equality and women's empowerment through education, training and development.
  • Apply principles of social justice to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.

    The Qualification also aims at developing a competent and professional sector encompassing ethics and good governance for the effective delivery of services. The applied competencies demonstrated within this Qualification are essential for enabling a positive impact on gender equality and women's empowerment within South African society.

    Rationale:

    This Qualification is aimed at raising awareness and empowering learners with the competencies to deal with gender inequalities in various contexts. It also fulfils a Constitutional mandate to ensure a non-sexist society by promoting gender equality, equity and women empowerment across different spheres and sectors. It is intended to address issues relating to historical gender inequalities in a range of contexts. This Qualification will also contribute to raising awareness and dealing with changing attitudes and perceptions of gender stereotypes and prejudice.

    The qualification will contribute to socio-economic empowerment and development as well as improve access to employment opportunities through job creation projects that require gender specific competencies. It will also ensure that women and men develop competencies to deal with improving gender relations at individual, family, work, community and government levels. The Qualification also provides the learner with the essential skills to facilitate a pathway for further learning as well as receive recognition for existing skills and knowledge.

    The range of typical learners that will benefit from this qualification include:
  • Government Officials.
  • Community Based Organisations (CBO's).
  • Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO's).
  • Government and non-government programme practitioners in the area of gender equality and women's empowerment.
  • Faith Based Organisations (FBO's) and leaders.
  • Unions.
  • Facilitators.
  • Researchers.
  • People involved in Education/Educators.
  • Activists.
  • People involved in advocacy initiatives.
  • Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners.
  • Development practitioners.
  • Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) practitioners.
  • Human Resource managers.
  • Women in leadership.
  • Police Officers.
  • Health Care Workers.

    Vulnerable groups in this context could also include farm workers, domestic workers, people with disabilities and mine workers.

    The Qualification affirms the experiences of women and men through the recognition and credit accumulation of competencies; allowing for gender mainstreaming. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
  • Communication at NQF Level 3 or equivalent.
  • Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 3 or equivalent.

    Recognition of prior learning:

    The structure of this Unit Standards-based Qualification makes the Recognition of prior learning possible. If the learner is able to demonstrate competence in the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes implicit in this qualification the appropriate credits should be assigned to the learner. Recognition of prior learning will be done by means of Integrated Assessment as mentioned above.

    This recognition of prior learning may allow:
  • Accelerated access to further learning at this level or higher levels on the NQF.
  • Gaining of credits towards a unit standard.
  • Obtaining of this Qualification in part.

    Access to the qualification:

    There is open access to this Qualification bearing in mind the Learning assumed to be in place. 

  • RECOGNISE PREVIOUS LEARNING? 

    QUALIFICATION RULES 
    The Qualification consists of a Fundamental, a Core and an Elective Component.

    To be awarded the Qualification, learners are required to obtain a minimum of 152 credits as detailed below.

    Fundamental Component

    The Fundamental Component consists of Unit Standards in:
  • Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 4 to the value of 16 credits.
  • Communication at NQF Level 4 in a First South African Language to the value of 20 credits.

    Integrated assessment:
  • Assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, so that an integrated approach to assessment is incorporated into the qualification.
  • Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably interwoven. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.
  • Assessment of communication and mathematical literacy should be integrated as far as possible with other aspects and should use practical administration contexts wherever possible. A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working or will work. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.
  • The term 'Integrated assessment' implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments, the assessor should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment tools methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.
  • Assessors must assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.
  • Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are evaluated in an integrated manner. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The FETC: Gender Practice Qualification and related Unit Standards at NQF Level 4 have been compared with qualifications from various countries to assess global contrasts and/or similarities, regional considerations and standards.

    The research conducted on international comparability with regard to gender and women's studies, women's empowerment and gender equality focused on both education and training programmes offered by a range of institutions and organisations, in both developing and developed nations, as well as on a range of sectors e.g. law, education, health, water and sanitation. The institutions and organisations researched included universities, government institutions and non-governmental service providers; many of which are located in sub-Saharan Africa. The information collected was limited to that which was currently available through internet searches, through personal contacts through tertiary institutions, and organisations that work in the area of gender and women's empowerment.

    Elements of the unit standards developed at Level 4 compare favourably with standards identified in the women's studies courses of New Zealand and Scotland country recognised as leaders in the generation of unit standards and qualifications; these include the following:
  • New Zealand:

    > Self and Text - Level 3
    > Gender and the media - Level 3
    > Gender, Work and Consumer Culture - Level 3
    > Masculinities - Level 3
    > Governing Bodies - Level 3
    > Sexuality and Colonisation - Level 3
    > Develop own plans as a women - Level 3
    > Communicate in a way that validates and includes women - Level 4
    > Increase self-esteem for women - Level 4
  • Scotland:

    > Gendering violence.
    > Gender, sex and death in world politics.
    > The social construction of gender.
    > Introduction to Gender Studies: Men and Masculinity.
    > The female icon.
    > The second sex? Women in culture and society C2000 - C1000 AD
    > Family and society
    > Gender and communication

    These qualifications compare favourably with the skills development achieved through the FETC: Gender Practice qualification because the outcomes and assessment criteria include much of the above terminology and broad perspectives. It is worth noting that the Level 4 qualification promotes the equality model in terms of recognising past inequalities and supports redress, empowerment and equity processes.

    The information was sourced from a range of universities in Canada, Germany, Ireland, Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, USA, UK and India; as well as sub-Saharan African universities such as Cameroon, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Namibia and Zimbabwe which reflect a large number of women's and gender study programmes that lead to Certificate, Degree, Masters and Doctorate level qualifications. The short courses provided by universities award an internal certificate by the institution or organisation that has offered the study programme.

    Similarly where study programmes and short courses have been offered by non-governmental organisations, other than a certificate of attendance, no accredited qualification is provided.

    Gender inequalities are one of the primary obstacles to the universal realisation of human rights, citizenship, development and health. Unfortunately, gender continues to be omitted from the majority of programs and projects designed to address sustainable development and poverty eradication, which makes capacity building resources and standards on gender more important than ever. It is apparent that some NGO's are running gender awareness workshops within Africa and other developing countries funded by organisations such as the UN. Details on the content of programs offered in such African countries were limited, and the table below reflects the information that was available. No qualifications seem to be run at the lower levels and the focus is largely on "awareness" workshops.
