Consulting engineering association Consulting Engineers South Africa (Cesa) president Neresh Pather says introducing new technology subjects at technical high schools will play a critical role in preparing future generations for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the general consulting engineering and construction industry. Referencing President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement of government’s plans for changes in education in his State of the Nation Address in February, Pather spoke to Engineering News at this year’s Cesa Presidential Visit, held in Midrand, Gauteng, pointing out that focusing on reinventing, retooling and reskilling in education would enable the consulting engineering industry and its stakeholders to embrace technology.
