Skills Rationale

Almost a third of the country’s population is currently unemployed.
Of the 7.2 million unemployed persons in the first quarter of 2021, more than half (52.4%) had education levels below matric, followed by those with matric at 37.7%. Only 2.1% of unemployed persons were graduates, while 7.5% had other tertiary qualifications as their highest level of education (Business Tech. The chances of employment in South Africa based on level of education, 06 June 2021).

Education is a relevant and determining factor to employment, and thence to self-sustained livelihoods. It is not so much that there is a lack of education, but rather that the learners lose interest or fail to learn because they have never been taught how to learn. This is a missing bridge between the learner and education itself.

Further, it has been reported that there has been an increase of teacher’s assistants/aids who are unskilled in education methods and learning support skills. Many rural, urban and township schools utilize unskilled or low skilled teacher’s assistants, resulting in poor learning achievements. Thus, there is an urgent need to upskill learning facilitators and/or teacher’s assistants/aids with learning support methods in this sector.

The main focus of this skills programme is to teach the learner advanced learning (study) support skills and techniques, to apply in any subject (matter) studied to help others with their learning process (studies).

The Learning Support Facilitator’s focus is on educators in the schools and post school education and training sectors.
