Hon Chairperson, the Department of Higher Education and Training has many plans. Besides the FET colleges, which have been established for the purpose of skills acquisition and gaining the intermediate skills that the country desperately requires, there is a need for nursing colleges and in certain instances teacher training colleges. There is also a need for colleges for continuous professional development.
Given the fact that I represent Basic Education rather than Higher Education and Training, I am reasonably confident from where I stand that the hon Minister would pay particular attention to those unused and nonfunctional entities for the purposes of enhancing opportunities for the professional development of our people. Thank you very much.
