South Africa’s government is driving digital transformation to address the significant digital skills gap highlighted by businesses. The high cost of tertiary education, inadequate preparation by the education system, and limited access to technology in rural areas exacerbate this issue.
To bridge the gap, the government is collaborating with industry to implement comprehensive digital skills initiatives. This includes investing in education infrastructure, promoting digital literacy, and supporting training programs from TVET colleges, universities, and online platforms. By prioritizing digital skills development, the government aims to ensure a thriving digital future for South Africa.
