North-West University introduces innovative way to increase South Africa's graduates
We also heard from Professor
Johan Fick - Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the North West University. He was speaking to us about their
innovative way to increase South Africa 's graduates in Science,
Engineering, Technology and Health. The North-West University have come up with an
innovative way to increase South Africa 's graduates in Science,
Engineering, Technology and Health in response to the critical shortage of
graduates in this field that SA faces. They decided to tackle the problem head on by
beginning to train future graduates when they are still at school instead of
university as it’s too late to work with them then. They have set up a unique
partnership with schools and industry partners which will see learners
beginning their training in science, engineering, technology and health from
Grade 8 as the school is open to learners from around the country. For further information you
