It was clear from the proceedings that Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) remained a challenge when it comes to implementation by Setas. The issue of transformation in executive management level positions in the mining and ICT sector is still a major challenge that remains unsolved. Access to both Setas by people in rural areas is still a challenge as they don't have regional offices in rural provinces. The Committee promised to engage both Setas during the next financial year when dealing with strategic plans.
