Skills Shortage
So here we are, the qualified technicians have already flown away, there is a skills shortage worldwide and how is the South African Government dealing with this, they are closing down technical training colleges and stuffing up really good facilities, so my son who has a matric and who wishes to follow an electrical career is finding it difficult to find an educational facility. Roodepoort, west admitted him this year but have said not to "bother" applying for his second trimester as they were closing the electrical department down and relocating it to Dobsinville. My son reckons his current educators are not even educated themselves , he is teaching his class maths as the appointed lecturer has no idea what he is doing, I myself have tried communicating with the Dean ("idiot" in charge") who is a Black female (high score for PDI) and no where near competent enough to run a check out at the local Spar, let alone run an educational facility, so off I went to Pretoria Technicon to see if we could transfer, I did thorough research on the website which indicated and discussed course content and so on, I should have realised it was another AWA situation when the telephone numbers listed on the website were no longer operational hence my physical presence in this once proud institution over a 100 years old and now really looking the part, not to mention that engineering studies had closed and had been relocated to Mamalodie and Arcadia. So I left Pretoria with an angry question, why are our black community so hell bent on ruining and systematically destroying everything. Why are the black students tolerating this disgusting level of education, can the students of today not see that they are literally wasting their time and that this all leads to the destruction of a system that requires educated people to manage it, ESKOM cannot maintain itself because of the SKILLS SHORTAGE and our government is closing technical colleges down or allowing uneducated lecturers to educate 'HELLO" this is not a downward slide, this is an avalanche wake up people, wake up parents, wake up leaders, wake up students
