Learning pathways for sustainable development, the national qualifications framework, and lifelong learning in South Africa:

This Bulletin is on research conducted to analyse learning pathways for sustainable development, the national qualification framework, and lifelong learning in South Africa. It consists of a number of papers that look at progress in and between learning and work, as well as the boundaries found in these pathways. In an effort to understand the system of development in education and work, the papers establish conceptual frameworks and research methods, which have resulted in the appreciation for contextualising and individualising constraints when investigating occupational progress. Later, the Bulletin then presents an international paper as an example of the integration of learning pathways.
