--:--
In this compelling conversation, Balin Moodley, CEO of ProTech, joins us to reflect on the critical role of STEM education in shaping South Africa’s future — particularly in the face of environmental challenges and skills shortages. As we observe International Mother Earth Day and approach World Environment Day, Moodley highlights the urgency of nurturing future engineers, scientists, and innovators who are not only skilled but environmentally conscious.
We explore why maths and science still intimidate many young learners, the danger of losing STEM skills to emigration, and the incredible impact that early exposure and industry partnerships can have. From building science labs in under-resourced schools to spotlighting careers like soil science and solar technology, this episode reveals how we can radically transform the conversation around science education in South Africa.
