An ICT-driven platform can get more young people in TVET and community college post-school education, says Buti Manamela.
Information and communications technology tools will serve among the key pillars to deliver learning and classroom experiences in the homes of potential students.
According to Manamela, the DHET has targeted 2.6 million students to enter TVET colleges by 2030. However, the majority of students attend brick-and-mortar classrooms. “Part of the areas we need to look at is how our partnerships with ICT companies can help in opening up potential for learning platforms – we already have the content and a huge base of instructors that can instruct via ICT platforms. We need to collaborate to ensure we deliver education to the gadget.”
“In my earlier discussion that involved the CEO, the department and Huawei’s leaders, we identified a need to determine ways to have much tighter collaboration with our TVET colleges, particularly with the fourth industrial revolution hubs in our colleges. By July, more than 300 instructors had participated in the instructor training programme, were trained and prepared for student class opening. In 2024, over 2 400 students have participated in online and offline Huawei training programmes.
“The ICT sector has been among the fastest-growing in the country, and it will continue to be so for years to come.”
