In line with this, SACE’s professionalisation process is positioned within a broader context of government’s vision to professionalise the public service through the constitution of the country, National Development Plan: Vision 2030 and other related initiatives. Thus, as a statutory professional self-regulatory body, SACE has an enormous role to play as the profession’s self-regulator through determining entry into all levels of the profession, promoting and managing a system for continuing professional development, and setting and upholding the professional and ethical standards. This legislative mandate of SACE forms part of its self-regulatory framework which is fundamental to building a capable teaching force that is highly developed, value-driven, accountable as well as being governed by high professional and ethical standards in delivering quality education in schools and colleges. The ethical and professional standards are also critical in instilling confidence, and providing assurance and trust to the public and parents that the professional service delivered by teachers is of high quality and ethical standards.  \nCouncil has concluded the job evaluation process, during the 2018/19 financial year, with an ultimate goal of enhancing the organisational structure and internal capacity with regard to human capital. As a result, new positions have been created and a number of appointments have already been made. Similarly, the SACE monthly levies have been increased to enhance the organisation’s financial resources and increasing visibility at provincial level. In line with this, additional provincial offices will be secured during the 2019/20 financial year.  \nIn 2019/20 Programme 1 (Registration of Educators) will continue to register newly qualified educators and in doing so, it will introduce the submission of police clearance as a requirement for determining the applicants’ suitability to practice and work with children. Linked to this will be the establishment of a joint Registration and Ethics Fit-to-Teach Committee that will deal with applicants that have serious criminal record. The online registration will be introduced and this will assist with reducing the walks-in registration.  \nProgramme 2 (Legal and Ethics) is key in implementing and enforcing the SACE code of professional ethics in the teaching profession. In doing so, it will engage in the following activities: advocating and communicating the code, managing a system for handling cases, and administering the disciplinary processes. Therefore, internal capacity has been increased, through the organisational job evaluation process. This will go a long way in strengthening the case management process and minimising backlogs, Additionally, SACE will be collaborating with the Department of Basic Education on two protocols that deal with (a) the reporting of the sexual harassment and abuse cases to SACE by the Provincial Education Departments and (b) the reporting of sexual harassment abuse and harassment cases to SACE and the Provincial Education Departments by schools, parents, leaners and the public.  \nThe Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) System (Programme 3) is moving towards completing the sign-ups in terms of the practicing educators. While the educator sign-up process is moving very well, there are challenges in terms educators, schools, and providers reporting to SACE participation in the CPTD system. Ultimately, this has a negative bearing on the extent at which educators fulfil the requirements for earning 150 Professional Development Points over a cycle of three years. In 2019/20 Programme 3 will focus on systems and processes to enhance the education and support of pro","cbCaiklemAOdiOfd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiklemAOdiOfd","pdf",5114746,34,"English","# Foreword and organisational mandate\n## Council job evaluation and resource strengthening\n## Programme 1: Registration of Educators\n## Programme 2: Legal and Ethics\n## Programme 3: Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD)\n## Programme 4: Professional Standards\n## Programme 5: Research Policy and Planning\n## Official sign-off and certification","[{\"question\":\"What is the overarching purpose of the SACE professionalisation process mentioned in the plan?\",\"answer\":\"To enhance the standing, status and internal quality of the teaching profession, strengthening self-regulation, professional and ethical standards, and confidence in the education service.\"},{\"question\":\"What new registration requirement is planned for newly qualified educators in 2019/20?\",\"answer\":\"Submission of police clearance to determine applicants’ suitability to practice and work with children, supported by a joint Registration and Ethics Fit-to-Teach Committee for serious criminal records.\"},{\"question\":\"How will SACE address challenges in educator participation in the CPTD system?\",\"answer\":\"By focusing in 2019/20 on systems and processes that enhance education and support for professional development uptake across educator, school and provider levels, including endorsed activities and quality assurance.\"}]","SACE Annual Performance Plan 2019/20 | PDF",1792379381,86]
