PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

The purpose of the NQF Level 7 Public Administration qualification is to provide the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required by public officials that work at a senior management and executive level. These competencies will enable senior public officials to provide the strategic leadership and management needed to transform all spheres of government. The need for well-qualified efficient, client-oriented public officials is identified as a priority in all the three spheres of government.

The National Diploma in Public Administration (NQF Level 7) is aimed at practitioners working in the public sector. It is the last qualification in a career pathway in Public Administration and Management.

The National Diploma in Public Administration consists of Exit Level Outcomes covering competencies related to service delivery from a developmental perspective, ensuring that public value is delivered within the broader market economy, formulating public sector policies, evaluating outcomes of multiple projects and determining requirements for new projects, harnessing knowledge that can be integrated into public sector decision making and problem solving, designing and facilitating all administrative functions required to ensure regionalism, decentralisation and governance, strategically leading public sector change and integrating public administration under the rule of law.

The competencies covered in the proposed unit standards encapsulate the competencies required by public officials working at executive level. The qualification will therefore enhance the ability of the qualifying learner as a public official to perform the necessary administration tasks expected as well as to improve management and strategic leadership abilities. In this way, the qualification enhances transferability of skills within different spheres of the public sector.

With regard to the implementation of Public Administration and Management reforms, the Qualification serves, as a basis of an effective implementation process by defining and identifying those competencies required by technical public officials. The possession of relevant knowledge, skills and attitude by public officials is crucial to the implementation of public sector administration and management reforms. Thus, the qualification contributes to the upliftment of the South African economy in line with the aims of existing skills development legislation through enhancing of skill levels of public sector employees.

The qualifying learners could follow a variety of careers within the Public Sector related to:
  • Knowledge Management.
  • Project Management.
  • Administration.
  • Executive Management.
  • Project/Public Entity Management.
  • Generic Management.

    Rationale:

    The public officials in South Africa fulfil a wide variety of roles within the public administration and management structures. They tend to work in diverse operating and service delivery circumstances and are required to solve problems, visualise strategies and develop policies that cater for the development and functional needs of the country.

    The sustainability of South Africa's democratic process and developmental governance are strongly linked to capacity building within the three spheres of government - national, provincial and local. The public sector has a strong skills development initiative affecting three hundred thousand employees during the next three years. It is imperative that public officials receive an up to date Public Administration and Management qualification that develops the knowledge and skills which officials in South Africa's public sector require. The public officials need to have awareness and understanding of the changing needs of today's public service delivery systems. A needs analysis was done informed by international benchmarks taking into account the leading position of South Africa in public sector development on the African continent.

    The Exit Level Outcomes concentrate on the public administration skills required within the public sector. Such skills and knowledge are geared towards enabling public officials in all spheres of government to operate effectively and successfully in a highly demanding and competitive environment. The exit level outcomes and the related assessment criteria are outlined for a number of areas of competence, with public administration marked as a key competence directly affecting the service delivery process.

    The Diploma in Public Administration is a specialised Qualification which offers managerial, conceptual, strategic and policy formulation knowledge and skills that contribute to service delivery in the public sector for learners who:
  • Have attained the National Diploma in Public Administration and Management NQF Level 6 or any related financial, management, administration, or public administration degrees and wish to continue on a path of life-long learning within the Public Administration or related qualifications.
  • Have worked in Public Administration, Public Financial Management, Municipal Administration/Management for many years, but have no formal Qualifications in their area of expertise.
  • Wish to extend their range of skills and knowledge of Public Administration and Management so that they can specialise in more executive and senior management functions.
  • Have recently taken up a position in Public Administration and Management at a strategic or senior management level.
  • Have not yet acquired the skills and competencies required for learning higher level Public Administration and Management.

    The skills, knowledge, values and attitudes reflected in the Qualification are building blocks to related NQF Level 7 and 8 qualifications. The intention is:
  • To promote the development of knowledge and skills that are required for the efficient performance of Public Management and Administration functions.
  • To release the potential of people.
  • To ensure that public officials can fulfill public administrative functions that are internationally comparable.

    The Diploma in Public Administration: Level 7 should produce knowledgeable, multi-skilled workers who are able to contribute strategically and policy design, formulation of service delivery frameworks and structures for the public sector. This qualification should provide the means for current workers to receive recognition of prior learning and upgrade their skills and achieve a nationally recognised qualification. It should also assist new entrants to the public sector.

    Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably lined. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.

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 formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.

    Assessors and moderators should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should 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. The assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of specific outcomes and embedded knowledge.
