1. Not everything can be done by the Institute, but the Institute must have an all-inclusive view and vision, based upon which
a) the mutual dynamics can be determined
b) choices for action can be made
c) responsibilities of role-players can be established
d) priorities can be set
e) learning pathways can be determined
f) roles (for action) can be allocated, etc.
1. For that, we need a structured taxonomy and framework for e-skills
Strategic Outcome Oriented Goal 3:
Create a critical mass of students and researchers that will propel e-skills development for a Knowledge Economy
Goal Statement Provide a focus for continuous research and innovation in a trans-disciplinary manner to concentrate on new ways to embed ICT into peoples lives for socio-economic benefit

e-Leadership skills:A portfolio of skills, representing expertise in both using ICT systems and leading organizations (or divisions/functions in an organisation), as appropriate to the specific context.
These skills are often referred to as a T-shaped portfolio of skills.
e-Leadership is defined as “the accomplishment of a goal that relies on ICT through the direction of human resources and uses of ICT” (N. Fonstad,
INSEAD).
Conceptual Clarity
• Computer skills: ...software and hardware
• Computer literacy: ...knowledge and ability to use programmes and applications
• Information literacy: ...knowledge of sources, search strategies, appraisal
• e-Literacy: ...build networks, use and create information and knowledge
• e-Skills: ...IS technologies + work context + strategy + behavioural competencies 12

• the desired results for this intervention will be seen in:
- its direct impact against the NDP 2012;- the increase in the country’s e-readiness rankings;- the increase of life chances through the effective social appropriation
of ICT;- better application of ICTs across the society, organisations and
service delivery structures;- the increase in and integration of knowledge workers in all sectors;- establish a peer driven youth leadership movement that can:
- Grow enrollments in ICT focused education- Grow enrollments in the social appropriation of ICT for local benefit- Develop e-astuteness across the full socio-economic spectrum of
youth- better analysis of mega data that influences policies around
employment, innovation, productivity, inequity and skills development for an inclusive knowledge economy and capable state;
- the increase of research capacity aligned to incubation, job opportunities and that of a developmental state; and
- access to technology = LEADERSHIP, INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND EQUITY

e-skilling south africa for equitable prosperity and global competitiveness
- Greater coordinator and alignment to support the strategic goals as articulated in the “Towards the Realisation of Schooling 2025.- Teaching and Learning: Professional Development for
Teachers on the use of ICT for teaching and learning (incl. instructional design capacity)
- Build leadership capacity around the investment of ICT (management of schools and district offices)
- Promote e-literacy/e-astuteness to leverage new job opportunities presented by the Information Society and Knowledge Economy (e.g. Broadcasting Digital Migration – 23 new channels) as part of articulation (communities, schools, FET colleges and universities)
- Explore ways as to capture the e-skills capacity development programmes of Basic Education as part of a national aggregation framework for e-skills
Proposed Recommendations
Establish a Joint Task Team including that of DHET to formalise the opportunities as
outlined above.
