Entering varsity is a significant milestone, but it can be particularly challenging if feelings of exclusion arise. Adapting to the new environment and feeling included is essential for success and well-being, and it's important to know there are steps you can take if you feel disconnected or isolated, an education expert says.


The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE) has become the first private higher education provider in the country to receive full accreditation for its engineering degrees from the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).


Regardless of an individual’s position, education expert Peter Kriel, General Manager at The Independent Institute of Education, says it’s important to know how to move forward so that they can continue growing and improving.


The transition from high school to university is a significant milestone for matriculants, filled not only with the excitement of independence and personal growth, but also with uncertainty and daunting challenges that many students find themselves unprepared for.


While innovation and technological advancements such as AI have the potential to revolutionise and enhance learning outcomes, an education expert cautions that not all change is inherently good, and that tradition plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of education.


Although South Africa’s private higher education institutions are less known and understood than public universities, these institutions are at the forefront of innovation in the sector and are implementing groundbreaking initiatives to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.


Embarking on the entrepreneurial journey is a thrilling and rewarding venture, but it is also fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Many young people, when considering their after-school path, are attracted to the prospect of becoming an entrepreneur. However, becoming a successful entrepreneur requires more than just plunging into your business idea, with a business strategy of “crossing that bridge when we get there.”


According to Dr Bronwyn Batchelor at The Independent Institute of Education, career guidance is crucial during the early high school years, as it not only helps to determine a student’s passion and purpose, but also aligns their high school path to future qualification opportunities. This allows them to make strategic – rather than ill-informed – education and career choices that will set them up for success throughout their academic journey and the world of work.


While Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Adaptability Quotient (AQ) have for some time been considered key indicators in determining how effectively one navigates one’s educational and career journeys, two additional factors are now emerging as considerations when hiring and promoting candidates: Social Quotient (SQ) and Cultural Quotient (CQ).


 According to an education expert, too many graduates in South Africa leave university with little more than academic knowledge, and it is crucial for universities to partner with professional industry experts in developing curricula that not only reflect the evolving world of work but also prepare students optimally for the demands of their profession following graduation.
