I would read this with a pinch of salt, Youtube is upskilling a large group of artisan people

I passed the how to operate an electric planer for beginners this morning. Practical at home after work.

Yep. Most articles from The Conversation are woke.

Stephanie Matseleng Allais is Research Chair of Skills Development and Professor of Education at the Centre for Researching Education and Labour at Wits University. Her research is located in the sociology and political economy of education, focused on relationships between education and work.

And I bet she has never worked.

If she can make it a bit more woke and add in some 1652 references, this could get her on Cyril's planning commission.
 
You just need to read the last paragraph to know the woman should have been a politician. So many w@nk words that don't mean a thing.

South Africa will improve its chances of skill formation success if it can identify potential key policy levers, and look at how they interact with each other.

Maybe if we start cutting the men's peni off it could resolve the problem
 
Actually one of the biggest issues is that Home Affairs is such a mess that it's almost impossible to bring skilled immigrants in on highly skilled work visas.
 
Zero rate data for education/info sites.
Give some decent funding to the hard working NGO's, who are seriously trying to make a difference.
Scrap import tax on books and computers.
This can all be done over a weekend, and the net positive result will be seen almost immediately.

Or how about not? Keep then stupid to keep their votes. Liberation before education!
 
Skills are an issue, but a huge hindrance are the labour laws. If employers could hire and fire at will like the US, we'd be far more willing to take on labour. At the moment it's super risky to hire anyone since so difficult to fire/CCMA etc.
 
Bigger concern should be how our manufacturing sector is declining.

SA has labour - plenty of it.
SA has raw materials, plenty.

What we dont have is skills and power to drive up manufacturing.

If we could get this right - what a country we could be.
