As a part of the joint study that AMMACHI Labs is engaged in with #NORRAG (of the Graduate Institute of Development Studies) and the REAL Center (Witwatersrand University, South Africa), Srividya Sheshadri traveled to Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa to conduct a feasibility study to better understand the potential for ICT based vocational education in facilitating access to remote and informal populations.
Srividya along with a local team of researchers from Witswatersrand University, visited TVET colleges, government agencies, and individuals invested in technology-based vocational education, to learn from their experience, best practices, and challenges. Information gained from the feasibility study will inform subsequent plans to strengthen the delivery and access of skill development in the rural areas of South Africa through Community Colleges.
