I am sure hon Vukuza-Linda knows that I do not have to be lectured about what summits are. That is why, in my original answer, I came up with very specific things that we are going to be doing.
These summits are necessary for two reasons. First of all they enable us to get many good ideas from the stakeholders, so they are not a waste of time or just a talking shop.
Secondly, they help us to refine our implementation plan. That is why I was saying on 8 October I would be getting an implementation plan arising from the resolutions of the summits.
Okwesithathu, angithukuthele Mbazima, angithukuthele. [Uhleko.] Ngizosuke ngikubuze ukuthi ngokomthetho akufanele ngabe nilapha ningakabambi nenhlangano yenu nje. Nisibuze ngentando yeningi ningakayibambi inhlangano. [Uhleko.] (Translation of isiZulu paragraph follows.)
[Thirdly, I am not upset, Mbazima, I am really not upset. [Laughter.] In fact, I will remind you that you are not supposed to be here because you have not even held your elective conference yet. You are telling us about democracy and yet you have not held your elective conference. [Laughter.]]
On articulation, in short, what we mean is that programmes offered at FET colleges must have a relationship with the higher education sector. Take, for example, the National Certificate (Vocational), NCV. Today if you pass it at an FET college and you want to go to university you cannot, because the NCV only has one language and universities require two languages.
There are also other programmes, what we call the Nated, the N Programmes, whose articulation with universities at the moment are based on individual negotiations between universities and particular colleges. We want to make it a systemic coherent relationship that certain programmes translate into particular certificates or diplomas in terms of the Higher Education Qualification Framework. That is what we mean in short.
Ngabe ngiyaqhubeka kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi impendulo yalo mbuzo owubuzayo uyayazi. [I will be continuing, but I know that you know the answer to your question.]
