Helen Rachel Matshoba holds a MED in Education, Management Law and Policy which she acquired from the University of Pretoria. Her career in education spans over a period of over 25 years. She has acquired extensive experience from working in the quality assurance environment. The experience has been in a regulatory environment which exposed her to working with policies such that she is able to develop and interpret policies. She is currently working in quality assurance within higher education. While working at the Quality Council for General and Further Education and Training she was involved in the development of the General and Further Education and Training Qualifications sub-framework which is a register of qualifications offered by schools, TVET colleges and adult education centres. Both the regulatory environment and the higher education environment have exposed her to quality assurance measures which entail standard setting and development. She has a grasp of those subject matters mentioned above from a national South African and global perspective and understands the interfaces and symbiotic interlinkages.
