Article Title: Assessing Best Practice Implementation of Quality Assurance in Basic Education by Establishing Standards and Measuring Program Effectiveness
by Nndowiseni Anniekie Ravhudzulo

Abstract:
Quality assurance (QA) is a process-centered approach to ensuring that a company or organization is providing the best possible products or services. It is related to quality control, which focuses on the end result, such as testing a sample of items from a batch after production. Although these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, quality assurance focuses on enhancing and improving the process that is used to create the end result, rather than focusing on the result itself. Among the parts of the process that are considered in QA are planning, design, development, production and service. The Department of Education in the Northern Province is faced with a massive need for effective continuing professional development in the Province=s educators, at both General Education and Training (GET) and Further Education and Training (FET) phases. In the areas of Science, Mathematics, Technology and English, subject knowledge is poor. In the proposed CSR SBINSET, teachers are part and parcel of their own development.
