Pretoria – Cabinet has approved the use of retired and in-serving public servants as lecturers in the National School of Government (NSG), according to Minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Jeff Radebe.
The NSG was launched in 2013, replacing the Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy (PALAMA).
Minister Radebe, at a post-Cabinet media briefing on Thursday, said the NSG is mandated to promote the progressive realisation of the values and principles governing public administration and enhance the quality, extend and impact of the development of human resource capacity in institutions.
“This initiative will be piloted with the implementation of the Compulsory Induction Programme for public servants.
