Theory vs Skill - Theoretical vs Practical

Theory vs Skill - Theoretical vs Practical Theory vs Skill - Theoretical vs Practical How can we fix the South African economy and create jobs?  -  Prince Mashele Quote:  Prince Mashele, executive director of the Centre for Politics and Research, does not pull any punches about the state of unemployment in the country and who is responsible. He asks three questions: Who are these people who are unemployed? Why are they are unemployed? What must be done to employ them. “Less than 5% of the people who are unemployed are white. Why? Because they have the skills. We have an education crisis which keeps poor black people from getting the skills they need. We need to set up factories and produce things,” he said.  Unquote Perhaps people think that having a degree guarantees success.  Could this be the reason for  # FeesmustFall ? Free EDUCATION - Now WHAT? Very true... "skills" broaden your chances of being successful. It allows o...

Create job creators | Create jobs | Create employment Creating Job Creators Creating Job Creators Creating Job Creators The South African Crisis: 1994 - 2019 14% cannot afford to by food 10.2 million unemployed - 27% 3.2 million housing backlog A #Jobsummit was convened in Midrand and many referred to it as a failure to address the real issues. - " Sara Gon writes on the misdirected resolutions of the Jobs Summit" - " The Jobs Summit discussed many things, but job creation was not one of them. That is because jobs can’t be created – businesses have to be created, which will then create jobs. And there was little apparent discussion of how best to create or grow businesses." HOW to get the unemployed working? South Africa needs to create jobs to fight high unemployment. What product can be "produced" to stimulate job creation, skills development and stimulate entrepreneurship? How can people outside the economy be brought back in...

Youth employment and skills development program

Youth employment and skills development program Youth employment and skills development program - South Africa Is our education system teaching learners how to shoe horses when we are driving cars? With more than 10 million unemployed and a backlog of 3 million houses... are we training for the needs of the people and the country?  Educate for the needs of today Matric results are not a reliable barometer of education quality  We propose a solution by combining three “problem areas” and transforming them into “opportunity”. The three key issues that we face in Africa are that of poverty, unemployment and the huge backlog of affordable homes. Currently there are 800,000 graduates that are unemployed in South Africa.  This means that our universities are producing a significant amount of unwanted skills for the needs of industry and our country. This prompts the questions: - Does our higher educ...

Housing construction costs in Yemen: Affordability & Purchasing Power - Middle East News

Housing construction costs in Yemen: Affordability & Purchasing Power - Middle East News : The substantial problem of a housing shortage is becoming an enduring feature in Yemen. All the same, the response to housing needs was hasty. Construction projects were executed using inappropriate and costly construction and design practices resulting in low-quality housing, causing further escalation in construction and housing costs to prices beyond the financial reach of the majority of the population in Yemen. A report by Dr. Basel Sultan.Improving the construction and housing sector is essential for several reasons. First for economic reasons, the performance of the construction & housing sector has a considerable influence on the overall economy where it contributes seven to 15 percent of the Gross National Product (GNP). Secondly, for social reasons, because housing is a basic human need. Third, for environmental reasons in order to reduce the consumption of resources, especially...

Moladi reduces high costs of conventional building techniques through new technology Moladi reduces high costs of conventional building techniques through new technology New moladi construction technology Africa is a rapidly urbanising continent, which according to the UN Habitat, is increasing at a rate of 230,000 people who are moving into cities across Africa each week. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa alone has an estimated housing deficit of 30 million units and every year, the backlog of houses across Africa’s 54 countries collectively increases by 4 million houses. With the population of the African continent expected to reach a staggering 2 billion people by 2050, almost twice the population number estimated in 2010, it is a stark reality that every year, there will be more and more people needing homes, over and above the current demand.  reduce cost of housing construction Although the extensive and many complex difficulties, relating to the delivery of a...

What is the cost to 3D print a house?

What is the cost to 3D print a house? What is the cost to 3D print a house or rather the "walls" of a house? What is the cost to 3D print the walls of a house? Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing. We therefore want to make it quite clear that this post is published purely to summarise our take on the topic and to have the ability to reference these questions and statements without having to repeat what we see as inherent issues associated with the 3D printing process of houses. All of the numbers used for 3D printing cost purposes are assumed, as these cost are not readily available for the purpose of this cost example. We would invite any 3D printing entity to help with the actual numbers to take any guesswork out of the cost estimation. First 3D printing post in 2017:  3D Printing a house or is it in reality - 3D Printing Walls?    - Link The de...
