TRANSFORMATION OF JUSTICE COLLEGE
21
BACKGROUND
  • Justice College (JC) is a training arm of the
    DoJCD that focuses on training mostly personnel
    employed in the judiciary institutions of South
    Africa
  • This institution did not keep up with the changes
    that took place in the South African society
    since the democratisation of the country, and it
    has become essential to transform this
    institution.

22
BASIS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION
  • The transformation of JC will take place within
    the strategic plan and objectives of the
    Department
  • The transformation is based on the following
    values and principles
  • The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa
  • Batho Pele
  • Professionalism
  • Continuous Development
  • Good Governance
  • Open Communication

23
Figure 1 CONCEPTUALISATION OF TRANSFORMED
JUSTICE COLLEGE
24
GOVERNANCE
  • Governance refers to structures that will be
    implemented to ensure that JC complies with
    requirements of its stakeholders. For example,
    an Advisory Board comprised of various experts
    would advise college management in terms of
    relevance of training programmes.
  • It also includes Faculty Boards for various
    specialisations

25
Figure 2 SUGGESTED
ORGANISATIONAL/GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
26
This graphical illustration shows that the
foundation of the transformed college should be
formed by Curriculum redress and
development Research and development An
effective learner management system Effective
training delivery methods and A quality
assurance system.
27
FOUNDATION FOR THE TRANSFORMED COLLEGE
  • The following would form the foundation of the
    transformed college
  • Curriculum would be transformed into accredited
    outcome-based learning programmes
  • A learner management system that will enable
    adequate control over learner data management
  • A suitable learning delivery system inclusive of
    e-learning
  • Research and development capacity would be
    created
  • Structured quality assurance will be put in place

28
The transformed college is based on five pillars
namely Administrative training Legal
training Prosecutorial training College
services and External relations
29
ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING
  • This division of the College will offer learning
    programmes for court management.
  • In addition it is envisaged to transfer the
    entire human resource development division of the
    department to the college
  • Additional training programmes for administration
    staff will be offered such as finance, project
    management etc

30
LEGAL TRAINING
  • It is envisaged to retain the current legal
    training programmes, but to transform them into
    outcome-based education, bearing credit value
  • This will result in a structured, recognised
    life-long learning path for employees of DoJCD
  • Additional training programmes will be added

31
COLLEGE SUPPORT SERVICES
  • College support services refer to those
    services that are needed to enable JC to function
    effectively.
  • It includes aspects such as finance,
    marketing, computers (IT) and personnel functions.

32
EXTERNAL RELATIONS
  • External relations refer to two aspects namely
  • To continue to service bilateral agreements
    already in place, especially with regard to AU,
    NEPAD and SADC
  • To form partnering agreements with existing
    institutions such as universities and other
    institutions. In this way capacity is created.
