WATCH VIDEO]: Higher Health SA is leading the charge this Women’s Month in addressing the gender challenges that South Africa faces. Dr (Professor) Ramneek Ahluwalia PhD MBA MBBS, CEO of Higher Health, is proud to introduce an Accredited Civic, Gender, and Soft Skills qualification, with a pioneering module on Gender at NQF Level 5. This qualification, quality assured by Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and globally recognized by agencies like UNESCO, is designed to be written at a basic literacy level and available in multiple South African languages, including sign language. It’s time to treat gender as a critical skills gap in our nation. These essential skills empower every learner, both in the PSET sector and among out-of-school youth, to foster gender equality in their personal lives and professional environments. Let's equip our future leaders with the tools they need to create a safer, more equitable South Africa. #DHET #HigherEducation #CivicandSoftSkills #SoftSkills #CivicEducation #WomensMonth #HigherHealth Dr Nkosinathi Sishi Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) HWSETA World Health Organization National Youth Development Agency (NYDA)
