Iziqu zefundo ephakemeko

Iziqu Zefundo Ephakemeko 

 1.   Isingeniso 
Amaziko wefundo ephakemeko adlala indima ekulu eemphakathini ngokuthuthukisa ilwazi layo ngeziqu ezahlukeneko. Iziqu ezahlukeneko zihlukana ngokwamazinga, imikhakha kanye nelwazi nebandlulo lazo. Kwesinye isikhathi zisetjenziswa ukuveza izinga lobuhlakani behlangano nanyana abantu abathile. Eengatjeni zekulumopendulwano elandelako sizokutjheja bona kuyini iziqu zamaziko aphakemeko nanyana zefundo ephakemeko begodu zihluka njani. 

 2.   Kuyini iziqu zefundo ephakemeko (yamaziko aphakemeko)? 
Izuqu zefundo ephakemeko nanyana yamaziko aphamekeko wezefundo kuziziqu lezo ezinikelwa begodu kutlonyeliswe umfundi nanyana umuntu ezikweni lefundo ephakemeko njengekholiji, iyunivesithi yethekhnoloji neyunivesithi yenarha ngemva kokuqeda ibanga elithile leemfundo zomkhakha ethize (Wikipedia 2025Wikipedia. 2025. Academic degree. Itholaka ku: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_degree. Ifunyenwe [ngomhlaka 11 kuMgwengweni 2025].). Iziqu lezi zihlukaniswa ngamazinga athize. Kukhona iimfundo zokuthoma efundweni ephakemeko ezaziwa nge-undergraduate, lezo kanengi zenziwa mumunto ozange abe neziqu ze-degree ngaphasi komkhakha loyo (Canterbury Academic 2025Canterbury Academy. 2024. University terms explain. Itholaka ku: https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/getting-started/about-our-qualifications/university-terms-explained. Ifunyenwe [ngomhlaka 11 kuMgwengweni 2025].). Kube neemfundo eziphakemeko lezo ezaziwa nge-postgraduate, ezenziwa mumuntu oneziqu ze-degree kumkhakha loyo (Canterbury Academic 2025). Iziqu lezi esikhathini esinengi ukuze umuntu amukelwe ukuthi azifunde nanyana azenze kunimbandela neendingo ezifunekako, ezifana nezinga elithize lokuphumelela kanye neziqu ezithize zefundo. Izinga neziqu ezifunekako kuzingalinye, ziyahlathulula egatjeni elilandelako lekulumopendulwano. 

 3.   Umhlobo weziqu zefundo ephakemeko 
Minengi imihlobo yeziqu zefundo ephakemeko; kodwana, ngaphasi kwelumopendulwano sizokutjheja elandelako:

 1.   Isetifikeyidi esiphakemeko 
Isetifikeyidi esiphakemeko kulizinga leziqu elilandelwa ibanga letjhumi nanyana igreyidi le-12. Iimfundo zesitifikeyidi zefundo ephakemeko zitholakala kumakholiji nemayunivesithi wethekhnoloji. Ama-credit wesetifikeyidi esiphakameko ali-120 (Minishi-Majanja 2009Minishi-Majanja, M. K. The Higher Education Qualifications Framework and the changing environment of LIS education and training in South Africa: some observations.

Iziqu ze-degree kulizinga lefundo elilandelwa ziziqu zediploma (Minishi-Majanja 2009). Iimfundo lezi zitholakala kumayunivesithi wethekhnoloji namayunivesithi wenarha. Ama-credit weemfundo zeziqu zedegree ama-360 (Minishi-Majanja 2009; nomKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko 2013). 

 3.  I-MA ne-PhD 
Iziqu ze-MA ziimfundo zezinga ezilandelwa ziziqu ze-Honours (Minishi-Majanja 2009). Iimfundo zeziqu ze-MA zitholakala kumayunivesithi wethekhnoloji nemayunivesithi wenarha. Ama-credit weemfundo zeziqu ze-MA ama-480  (UmKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko 2013). 

Iziqu ze-PhD ziimfundo zezinga ezilandelwa ziziqu ze-MA (Minishi-Majanja 2009). Iimfundo zeziqu ze-PhD zitholakala kumayunivesithi wethekhnoloji nemayunivesithi wenarha. Ama-credit weemfundo zeziqu ze-PhD ama-360 (UmKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko 2013). 

 4.   Ubuhle beziqu zefundo ephakemeko 
Ngokuya komKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko (2013) iziqu zefundo ephakemeko zidlala indima ekulu ekuthuthukiseni amaphilo wabantu nemiphakathi ngokuthi kusetjenziswe ilwazi lawo. Zibuye zenze isiqiniseko sokuthi inarha ifinyelela iindingo zayo nemiphakathi kanye namaqhinga wokurarulula imiraro yayo (UmKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko 2013). Kokugcina, zenza isiqiniseko sokuthi abantu bayasebenzisana begodu kuba netjhebiswano elingcono (UmKhandlu wezeFundo ePhakemeko 2013).

 5.   Isiphetho 
Iziqu zezinga ephakeme lezefundo azitjengisi ubuhlakani obuthize kwaphela; kodwana, zidlala indima eqakathekileko eemphakathini nenarheni njengokuthi kuthuthukiswe amaphilo wabantu. Ukungezelela, zibuye zidlale indima eqakathekileko ekwenzeni isiqiniseko sokuthi imiraro yabantu iyararululwa begodu kuba nokusebenzisana hlangana nabantu babuya eendaweni ezakuhlikileko.
