SAQA AND THE NQF FAMILY ARE SADDENED BY THE NEWS OF DR DENNIS GEORGE'S PASSING
As General Secretary of the Federation of Unions of South African (Fedusa), Dr George was a prolific figure in the trade union movement and a great champion of education and investment in skills development to reduce unemployment.
Dr George served on the founding SAQA Board and we remain grateful his contribution towards building a working NQF in South Africa.
Our thoughts are with the George Family as we wish them comfort during this time and in the days ahead.
