ABOUT

The New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP)
“Revitalizing and Transforming the Academic Profession”
 
The New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP) is a prominent initiative that includes the recruitment of highly talented scholars as new academics. nGAP is the initiative of the Department of Higher Education and Training. These academics are recruited based on well-structured and balanced equality concerns, as well as the disciplinary areas of highest need in the higher education system. The nGAP is now the most extensive program under the Staffing South Africa Universities Framework (SSAUF), a university staff development component of the University Capacity Development Programme (UCDP).

Vision

To assist with staffing transformation and capacity needs at universities and involves the establishment of permanent posts.

Objectives

To enable young scholars to immediately take up permanent lecturer position and earn a full lecturer salary as they study.
