More than 22 subjects have been revised with the N4 business and services studies subjects, being implemented in 2022 first semester and N5 in Second Semester.

This includes N4 Engineering Studies subjects in the first trimester and N5 in the second trimester.

TVET College's curricula are continuously updated and revised subjects and the how-to access relevant curricula document through the circular.

Further elaboration of this will be in the next Department budget vote statement. Minister of Higher Education, Dr. Blade Nzimande proudly mentioned how along with his Deputy Minister Buti Manamela and Director-General Nkosinathi Sishi is championing the upgrading of South African TVET Colleges.

Nzimande added that as a country, we are faced with an ‘anomalous’ situation whereby there are more university students than TVET College students.

When NSFAS was introduced to TVET Colleges in 2009, this was the way of this department expanding and improving these institutions of higher learning.
