President Cyril Ramaphosa says his government wants to adopt aspects of Germany’s education and training system and apply them in South Africa.
Ramaphosa was speaking at a media briefing on Tuesday , where he was hosting German chancellor Olaf Scholz on an official state visit.
He said that a major constraint on growth and employment in the country is the relatively low skills levels in the country and the inadequate outcomes of the education system. Ramaphosa said the jobs shift will see the Department of Higher Education and Training placing 10,000 unemployed TVET graduates in workplaces from April 2022.Higher Education and Training minister Blade Nzimande has previously indicated that government plans to follow the ‘German system’ for training workers in the country.
“This project will see more of our youth absorbed into workplaces, while getting the requisite technical skills, in a meaningful partnership between the PSET system and industry.”
