“GUC continues to contribute significantly to knowledge development, job creation and community development. Therefore, as the government, we are happy with the participation of both private and public institutions through funding of learners in all accredited higher education institutions, ” said Tsogwane further applauding the institution for attaining ISO 9001 certification which serves as an assurance that they are offering international standard education services.
Tsogwane went on to encourage educational institutions to meticulously construct curricula that align with the demands of the economy.
He stressed the importance of imparting practical skills that resonate with the prevailing job market requirements.
Additionally, he urged institutions to integrate life skills into their teachings, extending beyond academic pursuits.
In the digital age, he highlighted the indispensable role of the internet and libraries in facilitating these skill acquisitions, advocating for their optimal utilization.
