Value of some SA qualifications
Value of some SA qualifications
We are expanding our examination of higher education and the true worth of university degrees. Some observers argue that universities are producing more graduates than the job market can accommodate, potentially diminishing the value of certain degrees due to their widespread availability.
This phenomenon is observed in fields such as law and…

People who can answer this question is white people because they are business owners and they must describe what they need exactly on a graduate.
I can’t believe I find myself right in the middle of this crises. It’s frustrating.
Isn't it important to specify the fields of phd that need the numbers of graduates because some fields may be saturated?
That mamphuku and Phds is annoying me…..coz her info is irrelevant
This problem actually starts at the Basic Education level, there are so many problems there alone. If the roots of a tree are dead, the tree won't thrive
Let us start by unpacking this thing called "skills mismatch"…. what do we need for our economy to grow? we have jobless growth in SA and what other metrics can we use to practically make sense of our economy, the real one!!!! I also "think" a focus on the university curriculum as a response is a bit late for an intervention. Would it be useful to speak the employment sector to get their opinions on this- this is complex!!! post covid our govt said there is no shortage of work- so we have to open those channels where this work sits, for this work to be formalized so people can "employed"!!!!
Would anyone be kind enough to send a link or direct to the gazetted list of ‘Skills Needed’ referred to in 23:00
mbeki as president could've solved this issue, he was an economist
we need more students in tvet than university, more artisans than engineers, more builders than planners, but the funding strategy of the government towards tvet is not attractive to students
Maths lit 😂
Companies Keep hiring the same people over and over again, even after a 1 year internship you still don't qualify for most of the Junior level roles because their experience requirements are just too high
Nurses do all the work in clinics… doctors been useless and cocky forever
Today's young people don't want to work! They think degrees guarantee them employment. 🤣
The young people should not be choosy when it comes to jobs.Even jobs such as a gardener,maid,retail jobs,call centre jobs should be taken,even casual jobs.People should have a plan what type of job they want to do in the future and work towards achieving their ultimate goals.Remember Rome was not built in a day. Study courses that have a demand in the economy.
So now education is useless for getting a job
INSTITUTIONS are aware of high demand occupations. but remember institutions have their own agenda their aim is to make money, they do not care whether the graduate is going to be absorbed into the economy or not. Nsfas do know about scarce skills as well but nothing is done. The power now is in the hands of our students to be well equipped with the information to be smart enough to never enroll for qualifications that are not going to give them employment after graduation.
I feel that the stats aren't being interpreted and interrogated correctly
There's too much focus on high level stats and very little focus on stats that provide actionable insights
So what do we, the unemployed youth, do now?
Skill mismatch? This guy must just stop talking. Just give graduates a chance.
So in a nutshell we should all pursue education in ICT as a country…it’s tough given what is being produced at secondary level. Also until when will we have this demand given our slow economy?
South African institutions should do more practicals than theory because at the end of the day , it is all about experience. The problem with South Africa is that they focus more sending doctors in other countries while we need doctors ourselves. Instead , they can send PhDs to other countries to study then bring the skills back home since other countries have advanced education system…Another thing is that how can Universities hire professors who are not familiar of what they are lecturing , if professors do not know the field they are in , then where are we going as a country ?…
With my matriculation certificate I feel like I'm just a slave working for odd jobs that don't pay much.
How do they pay
Expecting experience but no opportunities. Some experience demands are ridiculous.
Thing is, we are led by old people who have no idea of the new ways of life especially tech adaptation
South African schools don't prepare students for Uni. Ask Grade 10 – 12 students if they know what "Harvard Referencing" is, then see…
