Bridging the skills gap in SA starts with reimagining its approach to education
As the world hurtles toward a more digital, automated and interconnected future, the question that should be on our minds as a nation is - 'Are graduates being adequately prepared with the right skills to survive and thrive, now and in the future?' Nearly half of young South Africans are not in formal employment, education or training and those graduates that are, aren't being adequately prepared with the right skills to not just survive but thrive. We need to reframe the approach we are taking to teaching and learning in schools, the previous traditional academic pathways no longer give graduates the skills required for employment and too many young South Africans are still entering the job market underprepared. According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, employers anticipate that 39% of core skills required in the job market will change by 2030. Technological proficiencies such as AI and big data, networks and cybersecurity, and technological literacy are projected to see rapid growth in demand. Human skills like creative thinking, resilience, flexibility, curiosity, social influence and environmental stewardship are also expected to rise in importance, underlining the importance of thinking about the increasing rise of AI in terms of a human-in-the-loop approach. 'Most universities are still largely geared toward traditional academic disciplines and theoretical learning, and while these remain important, they don't always translate into employability. What's needed is a mindset shift, from qualification-first thinking to skills-first education,' says Dr. Gill Mooney, Dean Academic Development and Support at The IIE, including Varsity College and Vega, educational brands of the Independent Institute of Education (The IIE). To bridge this growing gap between what the world of work demands and what education currently provides, South Africa must urgently reassess how and what is being taught in classrooms and lecture theatres alike. A future-focused education system can no longer be built solely on rote learning, or memorisation and limited application of theoretical knowledge, but must equip young people with the skills to think critically, adapt quickly and engage meaningfully, particularly in uncertain and rapidly evolving environments. Analytical thinking, resilience and emotional intelligence are no longer 'nice-to-haves', but are the very qualities employers now prioritise alongside technical skills like data literacy, AI proficiency and digital communication. Yet, in a country where youth unemployment remains stubbornly high and nearly half of 15- to 24-year-olds are not in employment, education or training (NEET), too many young South Africans are still entering the job market underprepared. This is not a problem unique to South Africa, but it is one that must be tackled head-on, says Mooney. 'It requires a shift in the philosophy of teaching itself. That means moving from qualification-first models to skills-first thinking, where knowledge is contextualised, debated and applied. It means placing more value on curiosity, creativity and problem-solving than on reproducing and applying facts in limited contexts.' Some local institutions have started responding to this challenge by reimagining what higher education looks like. For example, the IIE's teaching models across its campuses — including IIE Varsity College, IIE Vega and IIE MSA — are being adapted to centre learning on dialogue, engagement and real-world problem-solving. Students are encouraged to explore multiple perspectives and to test theory through diverse applications, whether in collaborative projects, simulated work environments or industry engagements. 'We must move from simply transmitting knowledge to fostering the kind of thinking that allows students to navigate ambiguity, work effectively in teams and continue learning long after graduation,' says Mooney. In a labour market where change is the only constant, South Africa's education system must evolve from producing graduates with more theoretical knowledge, to producing graduates who can adapt, lead and create, in order to build a more inclusive, resilient and future-ready workforce.

The Nizamiye Primary and High School Annual Science Expo produces future scientists
Nizamiye Primary and High School recently held a science expo, where learners had a chance to showcase projects based on their scientific investigations. Principal Huseyin Gencel said this year's event was a huge success, with 160 projects exhibited. Grade 4 to 10 learners presented tasks and experiments that ranged from mathematics to solutions for a sustainable future, while Grade 11 learners participated as volunteers. 'This event aims to get our learners excited about science, by making it a fun subject where learners get to create a practical experiment of what they learnt in class.' Also read: Nizamiye Primary and High School Grade 10 learner plans on international recognition He said the external judges, comprising scientists, engineers, and medical technologists, were incredibly impressed with the standard and quality of the presentations. '16 projects were selected for entry into the prestigious Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, set to take place between July and August this year. The quality of the presentations is a testament to the hard work and motivation of our learners and teachers. Preparations are already underway for the Eskom Science Expo, taking place in July and August.' He said Nizamiye has been holding the science expo annually for more than ten years, except for the two years that Covid-19 disrupted their schooling calendar. Gencel concluded that the staff, management, parents, and learners were incredibly proud of the achievements of, not only those who were placed, but of all the participants. The competition and camaraderie pushed all learners to do better than their best.

'I struggled with proper moulding, to give the bricks a proper shape, and laboratory conditions, which could have served as a better working environment and safety. I was happy with the time given to us, and I had a great presentation as well. What I did to give my bricks a proper, rectangular shape, was I used a non-flammable, ceramic, flat surface to shape them by hand with the help of my dad.' Rahime will be one of the young scientists representing the school at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists competition.
