The reality…
RPL implicated in unequal distribution of resources for learning
2009 matric results, the worst since 1994 - official failure rate is 39.4%,
The real failure rate, is 78% (Sunday Independent 2010/01/10).
45% drop out rate in adult literacy 23% of 14-18 year olds not in school 50% first time undergraduates drop out

The Role of RPL in the TUP
Human thought develops NOT from the individual to the social, but from the social to the individual!
Formalise recognition of knowledge, skills, experience and values in TU movement by: Providing a valid and reliable basis for
the recognition and development of union knowledge, skills and ways of learning

Purpose
Challenge and enrich the content and methodology with aspects of union knowledge and skills that contest or complement current outcomes specified in the TUP
Develop strategies for engaging that which ‘does not fit’ squarely into the curriculum or the given set of assessment criteria

Teach how to recognise and engage the different rules and requirements of the structured course work and work based components of the TUP
Provide a valid, reliable and efficient process for the formal assessment and giving credit to the knowledge and skills acquired outside of but equivalent to the outcomes of the FETC:TUP

Principles
In design and implementation of the TUP curriculum:
to know what participants know and can do
include provision for engagement with prior formal and experiential learning before introducing new material

Methodology
Affirms unions as strongest communities of practice Definition; ‘People with particular identity, value
orientation and purpose’ Walker and Parker There is a strong sense of shared values
and beliefs, a consciousness of and commitment to an overall holistic purpose that shapes its activities
An agreement on the set of practices that constitute competent practice

knowledge, initiation into a community of practitioners
and a shaping of one’s identity
