Policy Framework on HIV and AIDS for Higher Education in South Africa
A Policy Framework on HIV and AIDS for Higher Education in South Africa was adopted by the Minister of Education, Naledi Pandor, and the 23 public sector higher education institutions in South Africa. It is jointly owned by Higher Education South Africa (HESA) and the Department of Education.
The Policy Framework recognises that collectively and individually higher education institutions must act to prevent new HIV infections and to provide access to treatment, care and support for staff and students infected or affected by the pandemic.
The Policy Framework guides and informs higher education institutions as they develop, refine and implement strategies to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS at their institutions.
The HEAIDS Programme will support institutions with the development of institutional policies, using the Policy Framework on HIV and AIDS for Higher Education as a guideline. This process is expected to start towards the end of February 2009.
