Does Acquiring A University Qualification Mean That You Have The Right skills?

The attention of education policy-makers and the international education community is moving away from raising literacy levels and increasing access to secondary and higher education, towards skills required by the workforce to promote economic growth. To help us understand skills development from a South African context; I'm joined by Dr. TS Mashongoane who is the Acting Executive Officer.
Skills development is the process of (1) identifying your skill gaps, and (2) developing and honing these skills. It is important because your skills determine your ability to execute your plans with success. Imagine a carpenter trying to build a house. He has the raw materials but lacks good wood-working tools.

In an article published by Quartz Africa, African countries are seeing a “brain gain” as young elite graduates give up on the West.

"Nearly 70% of African MBA students at the top 10 US and European schools planned to return home and work after graduation, found a survey by Jacana Partners, a pan-African private equity firm. Another study shows nine in ten African Ph.D. students studying abroad plan to work on the continent.
Motivations behind the trend are understandable given the once-promising “Africa rising” narrative and the continent being home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies"
