Reasons to be Proud #R2bP: Deputy Director Universal Access and Disability Services at Mandela University Dr Nosiphiwo Delubom has recently been elected as Chairperson of the Ikhala TVET College Council for three years at its inaugural meeting. 

 

She has been appointed by the Minister of Higher Education and Training for a term of five years to the Council in May this year.

“For me, this is a humbling moment to return to serve the college as a Council member, as I worked at the college in Komani from 2010 to 2018”, she says.

Dr Delubom has been appointed at a time when the 2024 to 2029 Strategic Planning in the TVET Colleges is due to be crafted.

According to the CET Act of 1996 Section 10(2), one of the functions of the Council is to develop a strategic plan which must address past imbalances, gender and disability matters.

“As an expert in inclusive education, I intend to provide a meaningful contribution in ensuring that the college complies with the act, White Paper for Post School Education and Training and the National Development Plan 2030”, Dr Delubom says.

"It is a great honour for me to serve Ikhala TVET College as the Ministerial Appointee on Council. I am delighted for this appointment and am willing to contribute to the priorities of the college as they are navigating to be the first choice of education for students."
