In 2000 Skills Development delivered a report(pdf) on the delivery of "Supplementary Technical Education to Tinsmiths" in Quelimane,Mozambique. Artisans are a demographic that are typically ignored when policies on education are being debated.The need for appropriate practical education cannot be overemphasized enough:
A group of 4 tinsmiths have been trained, and they have - as previously agreed - started to transfer their skills to their 20 colleagues. This will lead to a growth in the capacity of the total group as stated in the project proposal.The formerly very limited production, mostly consisting of buckets and containers, is now including an increased variety of goods, everyday objects, and crafts. Additionally the tinsmiths are able to produce products for ventilation systems, which is a completely new article in their sales collection...The roof construction and rehabilitation methods that the tinsmiths now master are hereto unknown techniques in Mozambique. The tinsmiths - who before the project were threatened by extinction due to the competition from plastic products – are now capable of broadening their range of production to encompass roof rehabilitation. Additionally, the artisans will in future be able to draw on their new contacts to the entrepreneurs and factories in the area.
