Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the graduation of the first electronics engineering students from a private business academy in Gauteng last month;
2) further notes that the academy has provided graduates with skills and well-paying job opportunities and is committed to supporting the drive to address the problem of youth unemployment while assisting the nation in the alleviation of the need for scarce skills;
3) encourages private enterprise to follow this example by establishing academies to train people to a standard of excellence and to provide South Africa with much-needed skills and employment opportunities; and
4) commends Samsung and its academy for its vision of fast-tracking the entry of African youths into the electronics job market and its short-term goal of developing 100 000 electronics engineers across the continent by 2015.
Agreed to.
