CONSULTATIONS
SUMMARY OF ISSUES RAISED
• Skills:
– Need to focus principally on trade and artisan skills on a
mass scale
– Immediate intervention is to upgrade FET’s to produce
skills that are aligned to the needs of the economy
– The proposed University as a longer term intervention
– Private sector willing to assist/participate in skills training (
i.e. community training, municipal technicians)
– Basic education needs major improvement to lay proper
foundation for further training
