In this episode of Khetha, we unpack the role of the Council on Higher Education, also known as the CHE, and why it matters to learners, students, parents, employers and the wider South African public.

The discussion explains how the CHE helps protect the quality, credibility and integrity of higher education in South Africa. As an independent statutory body, the CHE is responsible for external quality assurance in higher education, making sure that institutions, programmes and qualifications meet required standards and remain credible, relevant and respected.

Listeners will learn why accreditation matters, how higher education qualifications are evaluated before they can be offered, and how the CHE continues to support quality through institutional reviews, qualification reviews and thematic reviews. The episode also explains the importance of the Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework, progression pathways, research, policy advice and transformation in building a stronger higher education system.

Whether you are planning to study, supporting someone who wants to enrol, hiring graduates, or simply wanting to understand how higher education quality is protected, this episode helps you make more informed choices.

The DHET - Khetha Digital Media Campaign forms a vital part of South Africa’s national education and skills development strategy. It is positioned within the broader educational ecosystem where the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) shares responsibility with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) to serve the learning and skills development needs of South Africans at different stages of their academic and career journeys.

The campaign builds on a tradition of public education and empowerment through multiple media platforms, particularly targeting high school learners, graduates, job seekers, and out-of-school youth to provide accessible career guidance, bursary information, internship opportunities, and entrepreneurial support.
