The portion of a population Not in Employment, Education and Training (NEETs) have become a key focus globally. This subset is a key indicator of a country’s underutilised people assets. They represent economic potential. They also represent significant risk.
If their potential is not harnessed effectively, this subset becomes a burden on state funds in the form of grants. The unintended consequences, if left unchecked, include social decline, poor family planning, under-nutrition, stunted growth, poverty, and crime.
The Post-Schooling Education and Training (PSET) system in South Africa is well positioned to improve and equip these individuals with employable skills. A gap exists between the Education system and the PSET (Higher Education) system. Between these two systems an enormous chasm exists over which too many are not strong enough to leap.
