Post-School Education and Training Digital Infrastructure Upgrade

planned

The South African Department of Higher Education and Training is pursuing a systemic repositioning of the post-school education and training system, focusing on digital infrastructure as a developmental priority. This includes connectivity expansion to every university, TVET college, CET centre, and learner, alongside accelerated qualification development in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, renewable energy, automation, and green industrialisation. The initiative aims to support digitisation, infrastructure investment, and a system-wide digital overhaul to improve access and quality of education, and to better align education with future workforce needs.
