Alternative Pathway to Degree studies
Access programme as that for O level students
Application for matriculation exemption
Degree studies
RPL Assessment for entry into NQF level 5
Adult (over 23) with, grade 9 formal level of learning or equivalent, + 5 years working experience
Method of assessmentThe method of assessment will consist of:
1) an initial proficiency test (for literacy and numeracy skills)
2) RPL portfolio, which includes all the criteria for proficiency (entry to NQF Level 5) and the elements of performance. The RPL portfolio’s layout will contain:-narrative (life story)-career and educational goals-experiential learning cumulative assignments covering a specific field of interest/expertise -evidence of authentic examples (samples of candidate’s work form the relevant learning area).

Unisa asks : Is it worth our while ? Will comparing statistics of performance really help ?

The progression is very slow...
•Where is the problem?•The assessment ? the distance learning context ?•Support for the students ? •Are we doing these students justice ?•Is this an ethical exercise ?

Moving forward
• Qualitative interviews with participating students to establish actual problems.
• Similar analysis of RPL students registered in 2006 and 2007 .
