Towards a performance management framework for TVET lecturers in South Africa
This research is focused on enhancing the relationship between performance appraisal (PA) and continuing professional development (CPD) within the wider performance management of South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET) lecturers. It aims to address the country’s challenges in job creation and skills development by contributing to a well-aligned performance management and CPD system. Emphasising the importance of TVET lecturers in national human resource development (HRD), the research underscores the critical role of lecturers in shaping skilled graduates, thus contributing to economic growth, and advocates for a fair accountability process through PA in TVET colleges’ performance management systems.
