Seifsa worries that there are not enough learners being produced by the education system to work in the steel industry. Picture: iStockSteel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa’s concerns come amidst the high rate of unemployment faced by the country.
For learners fresh out of high school to pursue STEM at the tertiary level, they need to have passed maths and science with certain marks in grade 12. For someone to be employable, it has a lot more to do with a tertiary qualification. The qualifications can provide people with the theoretical background and technical skills required by their industries of choice. Lushaba says employers are looking for far more than these skills.
She believes the journey to creating people who are employable starts with a strong foundation in basic education. “Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube, in her 2024/2025 budget speech emphasised the need for a curriculum review to address challenges in numeracy and literacy.” She also mentiones that President Cyril Ramaphosa in his 2024 Opening of Parliament Address emphasised the need for educational reform to better align with industry requirements. The educational reform will also give learners skills development.
