Abstract

Technical-and-vocational-education-and-training colleges might have been worst hit by COVID-19 among educational institutions, according to Prof Joy Papier of the University of the Western Cape. However, despite their limited resources, many of these colleges found innovative ways of shifting from full face-to-face learning to complete online learning in a matter of weeks. At a recent HSRC seminar, Papier and other practitioners discussed how lessons learned from the pandemic could propel a reimagining of technical and vocational education and training.
