PoMiSA Conference Report 2025

 

State Of Play

The PoMiSA (The Potential of Microcredentials in Southern Africa) project is a collaborative endeavour among leading Southern African and European universities, national councils, and strategic partners, aimed at exploring and leveraging the transformative potential of microcredentials within the Southern African region. The PoMiSA project aims to contribute to the advancement of higher education and workforce development in Southern Africa by unlocking the potential of microcredentials. Through collaborative efforts and strategic initiatives, the project seeks to establish a robust framework for the recognition, quality assurance, and regulation of microcredentials, ultimately fostering innovation, mobility and economic growth in the region. The project will systematically develop principles and policies for the recognition, quality assurance and regulation of microcredentials in Southern African countries. The PoMiSA project is pleased to release a series of country reports. These reports outline the state of play regarding microcredentials in each of the countries in which PoMiSA participants are based (Estonia, Flanders, Ireland, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, and South Africa).
