The Department of Higher Education and Training says it is making steady progress in its plans to develop two new universities in South Africa.
The second university will focus on crime detection and fighting and is expected to be built in Hammanskraal in northern Gauteng. It is hoped that the new university will improve the quality of general and specialised South African Police Service investigations.
Briefing parliament in February 2022, higher education minister Blade Nzimande said also confirmed that government plans to overall curriculum and subjects at all of the country’s universities and colleges to better prepare students for finding jobs. “Both our universities and TVET college curricula are being reviewed and strengthened to be relevant to skills required by the national economy. We do this to align them with the needs of local employers, communities and the economy, particularly focusing on digital and related skills.”
