CCETC is an international refereed conference dedicated to the advancement of scholarship in teaching practice in African higher education.
MOVING BEYOND COVID-19: SLP PROVISIONING FOR RE-SCHOOLED SOCIETY
Background
The Centre for Continuing Education and Training (CCET), plays a pivotal role in the Short Learning Programme (SLP) teaching, by promoting of lifelong learning. Teaching, Learning, Research and Innovation are two pillars along community engagement, and we hold them in high regards as key performance areas of every academic at UNISA. The Centre holds annual conference with the aim of supporting academics to integrate the teaching of SLPs to their research, innovation and community engagement.

The 2021 4th Annual conference (August 25th – 27th. 2021), marks the climax of conversations, especially on how COVID 19 has changed our perspectives on our teaching practices, research and community engagement practices.

However, there are debates on how much learners have learnt and what was the quality of their learning during Lockdown.
