I am still amazed at the apparent collapse of educational facilities that specialise in the technical and engineering fields. With colleges all around the country literally falling apart. Reports of closures, lack of lecturers and training staff the norm. There is a worldwide skills shortage and we are failing at grass root level to uplift and train our own people. Those campuses that are still operating are doing so with courses such as book keeping, hairdressing and graphic design, so how are all of these graduates going to run businesses or find employment if the basic electrical infrastructure cannot provide the required energy. Does any one care, does anyone see the bigger picture, perhaps it is time to open "private technical colleges" and go the same route as Private schooling? I am available to assist provided we can find financial backing I think it would be a winner. We could start an "International Training Facility" right here in RSA with full campus and lodging facilities and take in Students from all over the world. Most of the class lecturers in New Zealand and Australia are South African so we have a good reputation abroad, ..........Just requires some funding and a proper business model. Back to the point at hand. Our technical educational system is failing, surely this area must be seen as an ideal empowerment and employment sector where it is relatively easy to start ones own business and to provide employment for others? How can we be expected to manage our electricity when there are not enough qualified nor educated persons running the generation facility in the first place. It all seems to be going backwards at the moment and it surely must be a priority to upgrade our infrustructure through education and skills development.
