It is some years later and we are now familiar with the suggestions of the WEF in terms of the 4 C's of soft skills or emotional intelligence having been elevated to the status of must have skills whilst our ed system , parents and pupils still pursue a pass mentality or an A aggregate at all cost to be able to enter university courses with the status provided by institutions image,status or perceived access to world standards.A simple calculation of which part of the 850 000 matriculants add themselves to this pursuit of tertiary qualifications, the employment rate for those only with matric and those who will add themselves to the 4,5 million Neet's says that there is something seriously wrong with our system beginning with the curriculum changing too often and teachers being alienated from their jobs by a caps curriculum grinding them into a standstill in regard to their own development and preparation for a changed role of skills facilitators rather than Knowledge transferers.The answer begin with a curiosity index for every school and a skills profile for the fully gfunctioning school leaver carrying every schoolcommunity's unique demands.This includes the skills demanded by the major employers in the region.The delivery of this should be driven from outside the school with a growing role for NEET's belonging to job clubs hosted by organised commerce and industry , entrepeneurs and other roleplayers towards a mini satelite college on every high school's premises thus influencing what happens in the school on a yeast effect with quarterly inputs from outside agents fulfilling the needs of that region.Thus a sense of belonging,achievement and excellence are created for all involved.Ask me for more detail
