ACCESS TO COMPUTER LITERACY TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN RURAL AND PERI-URBAN

 

In South Africa only 40.9% of public schools have computer labs and only 28% of those computer labs are being utilised, because most teachers are not computer literate. This problem results in many students leaving the education systems without being computer literate. Sadly most entry level jobs in South Africa require candidates to have matric and be computer literate this leads to an increase in Unemployment currently sitting at 58% for job seekers who are youth and cannot afford university and have to compete in the job market, and unfortunately they cannot compete adequately as they lack the skills and qualification to secure a job. stats link
