Sector Education and Training Authority. What is a SETA?
A Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) is a body
established under the Skills Development Act (RSA, 1998c) whose main purpose is to
contribute to the improvement of skills in South Africa through achieving a more
favourable balance between demand and supply, and by ensuring that education and training
- acknowledges and enhances the skills of the current work
force, (in addition to ensuring that new entrants to the labour market are adequately
trained)
- meets agreed standards within a national framework
- is provided subject to validation and quality assurance; and
- where appropriate, is benchmarked against international
standards (NTB, 1999).
The full list of SETA functions is contained in the Skills
Development Act (RSA, 1998c). Those which affect SAQA's work most directly are that SETAs
- monitor education and training in the sector; and
- are accredited by SAQA as ETQAs within the economic sector
(distinguished in Regulation 2(3) of the ETQA Regulations
(RSA, 1998a) from the education
& training sector and the social sector), and therefore fulfil all the functions of
ETQAs as set out in Regulation 9 (RSA, 1998a).
SETA membership differs from that of NSBs and SGBs by
comprising only representatives of organized labour, organized employers, relevant
government departments and, with the consent of the Minister of Labour, any interested
professional body and any bargaining council with jurisdiction in the sector.
