Owing to there being a lack of welders, technicians and fitters, nonprofit organisation TEACH South Africa (TEACH) believes that nurturing pupils’ skills in mathematics, science and English in primary and secondary schools could significantly help to address the challenges in the engineering sector. TEACH executive director and co-founder Richard Masemola points out that, in 2004, when South Africa celebrated ten years of democracy, the country’s accelerated skills growth initiative at the time was intended to deal with the problem of a lack of skills across industries and the mismatch of skills.
