In a recent article published in the Daily Maverick, the Department of Higher Education and Training DHET's admission that it cannot track which university degrees lead to graduate unemployment should raise concern for all South Africans. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-08-31-dhet-admits-it-cannot-track-which-degrees-lead-to-graduate-unemployment/

If we don't know which qualifications are producing employment outcomes, how can we know whether our education system is preparing young people for the economy they are entering?

The problem, however, starts much earlier.
As highlighted by Dr Darius Sangari in his analysis of South Africa’s education landscape, our challenges include:

🞄 Learning poverty: A large majority of children reach the age of 10 without being able to read and understand a simple text.

🞄 Weak STEM foundations: Poor mathematics and science outcomes undermine our ability to develop the engineers, technicians and technologically skilled workforce that a modern economy requires.

🞄 Learner attrition: The matric pass rate can hide the number of young people who have already fallen out of the education pipeline before reaching Grade 12.

🞄A struggling TVET sector: South Africa desperately needs artisans and technical skills, yet vocational education continues to face challenges around enrolment, throughput and completion.

🞄Education–industry disconnect: We continue to see young people leaving education with qualifications while industries struggle to find people with the practical and technical skills they need.

The solution cannot simply be more university places or higher pass rates.
We need an education system that connects school and skills to employment.

That means strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy, rebuilding STEM capability, making TVET education a respected first-choice pathway, expanding apprenticeships and work-integrated learning, and using technology to make practical training more accessible and effective.

For example, immersive technologies such as AR/VR welding simulation can give learners opportunities to practise technical skills in a safe, repeatable environment while complementing hands-on training.

Most importantly, industry must have a stronger role in shaping the skills pipeline.

The takeaway?
· A qualification is not the end goal.
· A pass rate is not enough. We need to measure what learners can actually do.
· TVET is not a second-choice education pathway. It is essential to South Africa's industrial future.
· And education policy must be informed by where graduates and skilled workers actually end up — not simply by how many institutions enrol or graduate.

South Africa doesn't just need more educated people. We need an education system that produces people equipped to participate meaningfully in the economy once they graduate.

The Department of Higher Education is spending billions in public funds without tracking which university degrees lead straight to the unemployment line. While this happens, the unemployment rate amon…

Take your team's skills to the next level with Augmented Reality Welding

Precision, quality and safety are the foundation of every structural engineering project and it all starts with skilled welders.

The Soldamatic Augmented Reality (AR) Welding Simulator transforms the way welders are trained by replacing live welding during the early stages of training. Still using a real welding helmet, torch, gloves and workpieces, trainees develop essential welding techniques while advanced computer vision and sensors track every movement and project realistic simulated welds into their field of view.

From steel fabrication and infrastructure to large-scale construction projects, the Soldamatic AR Welding Simulator equips the next generation of welders with the practical skills needed. It is perfect for in-house training — safe, cost-effective, and highly effective for artisans and professionals.

Master new techniques without the risks or high material costs.

👩‍🏭Train Smarter, Cheaper and Safer To Weld Better

⏳The future of welding education starts with Augmented Reality (AR) Welding.
Before striking a real arc, students can build confidence, perfect their technique and receive instant feedback in a safe, interactive learning environment.

🔎Traditional welding remains essential for hands-on experience and certification, but AR Welding gives learners the opportunity to learn welding techniques safely, with lower material costs and detailed feedback and improve without the risks or costs associated with live welding.

Benefits of using AR Welding?
✅ No consumables or material waste during training
✅ Safe learning environment with no exposure to heat, sparks or fumes
✅ Real-time feedback on welding angle, travel speed and technique
✅ Lower training costs through reduced equipment wear and consumable use
✅ Faster skills development and improved learner confidence
✅ Better prepared students before transitioning to live welding

Dr Darius Sangari examines the current state of South Africa’s education system. With over 15 million learners enrolled, the sector faces significant challenges including an 82% learning poverty rate, declining TVET enrolment, and low throughput rates.

The analysis highlights critical issues such as high dropout rates, poor performance in international STEM assessments, and persistent inequalities that continue to impact the nation’s skills development.

Dr Darius Sangari presents a detailed review of South Africa’s education landscape in Part 1 of this series. Key findings include only 60% of learners completing matric, a 10% throughput rate in TVET colleges, and South Africa ranking near the bottom in TIMSS mathematics and science assessments.

This thought-provoking analysis provides important context for education leaders and policymakers seeking meaningful transformation in the sector.
