Abstract
Faculty induction and mentoring programme in the area of curriculum
development is very important in the life and career of every new/old
academic staff who takes up a position at the Namibia University of
Science and Technology (NUST). NUST is moving towards the fulfilment of
its four values, namely: Excellence, Innovation, Collaboration and
Accountability. These values are measured by the outside world
(industry, stakeholders and international partners) based on the quality
and the type of programmes NUST offers to the students. At NUST it is a
requirement that as an academic you need to have the skills and
knowledge of developing curriculum in your area of specialisation that
meet both NUST Curriculum Framework and the National Qualifications
Framework (NQF). Considering the need for the institution to develop
qualifications that are of international standards coupled with the need
to meet the local industry, professional body and accrediting agencies
like the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) and the National Council
for Higher Education (NCHE), it is imperative to empower our academics
on the requirements needed in each qualification. The presentation will
enlighten academics on all process, credits and requirements of the NQF.
