Another outcome from the emerging scholars’ report is that a community of practice should be established. The Community of Practice for Postgraduate Education and Scholarship (CoP PGES) provides a community of scholarship and practice that supports the national higher education sector in postgraduate teaching and learning, training and support for supervisors and enables collegial interaction between peers.
