Learners from Pretoria-Tuine Ingenieurskool van Spesialisasie demonstrated their practical technical and problem-solving skills during the school’s official launch as an Engineering School of Specialisation on Friday.

From fitting and machining to electrical systems, construction, plumbing and automotive technology, the Gauteng Department of Education said learners brought their technical training to life through a series of practical demonstrations.

Led by MEC Lebogang Maile, the department said the launch marked Gauteng’s 39th School of Specialisation, another step in creating pathways for young people to pursue technical careers and contribute to the province’s future.

“Pretoria-Tuine Ingenieurskool van Spesialisasie is opening new pathways for learners to turn talent into technical expertise and practical skills through Civil Technology, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Technology, with practical training in woodwork, plumbing, construction, fitting and machining, automotive, digital technology, power systems, and electronics,” the department said.

“By investing in specialised, hands-on education, Gauteng is empowering young people with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to build successful careers and contribute to the province’s growing economy.”

The department said the learners were applying their skills by building a storeroom for the technical centre, gaining hands-on experience in planning, measuring, building and problem-solving.

Maile also joined the learners, laying a brick with their guidance.

“This is what practical, skills-based education looks like,” the department said.
