Uxhaso lwezimali lwe-STEM ezikoleni zaseNingizimu Afrika luvame ukungafiki njengesheke elilodwa elikhulu. Luthungwa ndawonye luvela emithonjeni eminingana emincane nethembekile: utshalomali lwezenhlalakahle lwezinkampani, izibonelelo ezikhethwayo ze-SETA, izisekelo kanye nomphakathi wakini. Izikole ezakha uhlelo lwe-robotics noma lokubhala ikhodi oluhlala isikhathi eside zithatha uxhaso lwezimali njengobudlelwano obuqhubekayo, hhayi isicelo esisodwa nje. Lo mhlahlandlela ubheka ukuthi imali ivelaphi ngempela, indlela yokuyihlukanisa phakathi kwemishini nokuqeqeshwa, kanye nendlela yokubhala isicelo esithola u-yebo.

Ukuthi imali ivelaphi ngempela

Izinhlelo eziningi ze-STEM eNingizimu Afrika zixhaswa ngemithombo emine. Ukwazi ukuthi imuphi ofanele isikole sakho kukusindisa izinyanga zokungqongqoza emnyango ongafanele.

• I-SED ne-CSI yezinkampani. Izinkampani eziningi zinesabelomali sokuthuthukiswa kwezenhlalo nomnotho esiboshelwe ekhadini lazo lamaphuzu le-B-BBEE, futhi imfundo ivame ukuba ngumzuzi. Qala ubheke amabhizinisi anehhovisi, ifekthri noma isitolo eduze kwesikole sakho. Umuntu omfunayo ngumphathi we-CSI, wenguquko noma wokusimama, hhayi ibhokisi lemibuzo ejwayelekile.
• Izibonelelo ezikhethwayo ze-SETA. Ama-Sector Education and Training Authorities aqoqa intela yamakhono bese ehlukanisa ingxenye yayo kabusha ngezibonelelo ezikhethwayo. Lezi zithanda imiphumela yamakhono nokuqeqeshwa, futhi ezinye zikhokhela imishini njengengxenye yohlelo olubanzi. Zisebenza ngamawindi ezicelo, ngakho bhala izinsuku ediyarini.
• Izisekelo nezethembeko. Izisekelo zezinkampani, izethembeko zemindeni kanye ne-National Lotteries Commission zixhasa amaphrojekthi emfundo ngamafomu ezicelo ahleliwe. Lawa ahamba kancane futhi asemthethweni kakhulu, kodwa izimali zingaqhuba uhlelo unyaka wonke noma ngaphezulu.
• Abafundi bakudala, abazali namabhizinisi endawo. Kuncane futhi akubikezeleki kangako, kodwa kuyashesha futhi kunemibandela emincane. Isitolo sezimpahla zokwakha, umcwaningimabhuku wendawo noma iqembu labazali bangakhokhela isethi yekilasi yamakhithi bebonke.

Hlukanisa isabelomali: imishini uma kuqhathaniswa nokuqeqeshwa

Iphutha elivame kakhulu ukuchitha yonke imali ku-hardware. Isethi yekilasi yamakhithi ngaphandle kukathisha onesibindi igcina isinothuli ekhabetheni. Ngaphambi kokuba ucele irandi, nquma cishe ukuthi imali kufanele ihlukaniswe kanjani phakathi kwezigaba ezine.

• I-hardware. Amabhodi, izinzwa nezinto eziphelayo. Isethi yekilasi eyabelwanayo yamakhithi acishe abe yishumi ivamise ukwanela ikilasi elisebenza ngamabili.
• Ukuqeqeshwa kothisha. Yiwo umugqa abaxhasi abavame ukuwukhohlwa, futhi yiwo onquma ukuthi ikhithi izoke isetshenziswe yini. Yenzele isabelomali ngokusobala.
• Izingxenye zesipele nezokushintsha. Amakhebuli ayaguga futhi amabhodi ayawiswa. Beka eceleni cishe amaphesenti ayi-10 kuya kwayi-15 wezindleko ze-hardware zonyaka.
• Imali yezimo eziphuthumayo. Isipele esincane ukuze ilaptop elilodwa elephukile lingamisi ikota yonke.

Uma usanquma ukuthi yini ozoyenza ibe yizinga elivamile, ibhodi elilodwa elisekelwe kahle lenza izingxenye zesipele nokuhlela izifundo kube lula. Ibhodi le-sheenbot infinity nesitoko esincane sezingxenye esivela e-store kwanele ukuqhuba ikilasi eligcwele, futhi i-academy yethu ingasiza ohlangothini lukathisha ukuze isabelomali semishini singamoshwa.

Indlela yokubhala isicelo esitholelwa uxhaso

Abaxhasi bafunda izicelo eziningi. Esifushane, esiqondile nesiqotho siyaqhamuka. Sigcine sisekhasini elilodwa futhi sifake lawa maphuzu.

1. Chaza isidingo esiqondile nenani eliqondile labafundi esibafinyelelayo.
2. Sihlanganise nomphumela umxhasi asukhathalele kakade, njengemiphumela kamatikuletsheni, amakhono edijithali, ukuqasheka noma inguquko.
3. Khombisa umnikelo ovela nakini. Ngisho nemali encane evela esikoleni noma kubazali ikhombisa ukuzibophezela.
4. Bhala phansi ukuthi imali ithenga ini, umugqa nomugqa. Izicelo ezingacacile zithola izimpendulo ezingacacile.
5. Nikeza ukubongwa: ilogo ezintweni ezishicilelwe, ukuphawulwa emcimbini wokubukisa, noma umbiko omfushane onezithombe.
6. Sho ngokusobala ukuthi uzobika kanjani nanini ngendlela izimali ezisetshenziswe ngayo.

Gwema ukukhulisa izibalo noma ukuthembisa imiphumela ongakwazi ukuyikala. Isicelo esilinganiselayo, esikholekayo osifezayo, siyisisekelo salesi esilandelayo esikhulu.

Qala kancane, ukufakazele, bese ukhulisa

Umxhasi usekela into esebenzayo ngokushesha okukhulu kunohlelo olusephepheni. Qhuba uhlelo lokuhlola ngekilasi elilodwa noma ngeklabhu yamaholide, uqoqe irekhodi lokuza, izithombe ezimbalwa nesithombe esilula sokuthi abafundi bebenzani ngaphambili nabakwenzayo manje. Bese ubuyela nobufakazi esikhundleni sethemba nje. Isifundo sokuzama esifushane noma uhlelo lwamaholide esikoleni kuyindlela eshibhile yokuhlola isidingo ngaphambi kokuba uzibophezele ngesabelomali esikhulu. Ama-workshop ethu amaholide ayindlela eyodwa yokuqhuba leyo kota yokuqala ngaphandle kokuthenga yonke into kuqala.

Gcina ubudlelwano bufudumele

Imali enzima kakhulu ukuyiqoqa ngeyonyaka wokuqala. Ukuvuselelwa kulula kakhulu uma uvala isiyingi. Thumela umbiko owawuthembisile, ubonge umxhasi ngegama, bese umbizela emcimbini wokubukisa lapho engabona khona abafundi besebenzisa lokho akukhokhelele. Umxhasi ozizwa eyingxenye yendaba uvame ukubuya, futhi ukusekelwa iminyaka eminingi yikho okuguqula iphrojekthi eyodwa ibe yingxenye ehlala njalo yeshejuli.

Okumele uhambe nakho

Awudingi umxhasi omkhulu oyedwa ukuze uqhube i-STEM esikoleni saseNingizimu Afrika. Udinga imithombo embalwa efanele, isabelomali esivikela ukuqeqeshwa ngobuqha obufana nobokuvikela i-hardware, kanye nesicelo sekhasi elilodwa esiqondile nesiqotho. Qala ngohlelo lokuhlola oluncane olufakazelekayo, ubike kahle, bese uvumela impumelelo ngayinye ixhase elandelayo.

Imibuzo evamile

Ingabe siqale ngezinkampani ezinkulu zikazwelonke noma ngamagatsha endawo?

Qala endaweni yakini. Igatsha, isitolo noma ifekthri eseduze kwesikole sakho inesizathu sokutshala imali emphakathini wayo, futhi ineketango elifushane eliya esinqumweni. Izinhlelo zehhovisi elikhulu likazwelonke kufanele uzifakele isicelo, kodwa zihamba kancane futhi zinokuncintisana okukhulu.

Kuthiwani uma singenaso nhlobo isabelomali sokuqala?

Hlola isidingo ngaphambi kokuchitha imali. Ikilasi lokuzama elifushane noma isethi eyabelwanayo ebolekwe ikota yonke kubiza kancane futhi kukunika irekhodi lokuza nentshisekelo oyidingayo ukwakha icala loxhaso elikholekayo. Ubufakazi bentshisekelo buvame ukubaluleka ngaphezu kwesiphakamiso esicwebezelayo.
