South Africa's Qualifications Authority (SAQA) is stepping up efforts to strengthen the integrity of academic and skills credentials across the continent. This week, SAQA is hosting a delegation from Angola's National Institute for Educational Assessment and Development for a four-day benchmarking and capacity-building programme in Pretoria.

The initiative aims to boost regional cooperation, improve the recognition of foreign qualifications, and address growing concerns around document fraud and misrepresentation.

To discuss what this partnership means for both countries and for the wider African education landscape, we are joined by SAQA's Chief Operating Officer, Dr Makhapa Makhafola.
