USAf submission of the draft policy framework for the International of Higher Education in South Africa

After years of dialogue in this regard, USAf welcomed the draft policy framework published on 28 April 2017 for the Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Arica. USAf supports the aim of the policy framework to “guide and regulate” the activities associated with the Internationalisation of Higher Education by universities and other role players in the post-school education and training (PSET) sector. In doing so, USAf recognises that there will from time to time be the potential for tension between internationalisation activities and other policy imperatives (such as Africanisation, decolonisation and employment equity), though USAf is clear that Africanisation is a necessary part of internationalisation.
