The study findings revealed that with the shutdown of contact-based learning as one of the COVID-19 containment measures by the government learners experienced social anxiety disorder and sleeping disorder. Youth policymakers need to design interventions that promote mental health in after-school programmes implemented by qualified youth workers and social workers. Youth workers should take the courses of action in a non-formal education to promote youth mental health.

Not in education, employment and not in training (NEET) youth as vulnerable groups need to learn and relearn new set of skills needed for the digital age since traditional jobs will be replaced with new jobs that will demand a new set of skills. The study aims to explore the perspectives of NEET youth on the skills they had learnt in youth work practices that are necessary for the digital age. A qualitative approach was employed to guide the gathering and analysis of the data. Some of the skills learnt in youth work practices include business acuity, digital skills, active citizens, and teamwork skill. To improve youth work practices in the digital age, this study recommends that youth workers need to have intensive knowledge so they can implement youth work activities effectively and improve the outcomes of NEET youth in the digital age.

Abstract

Postgraduate students, particularly those lacking exposure to scholarly learning, have to confront significant financial shortages, which delay the attainment of their academic objectives. This study explores the factors that motivate young people to get master's degrees and the challenges students face during their postgraduate journey at South Africa's historically disadvantaged universities. Data were collected and processed using a qualitative research method. The study employed purposive sampling and a snowball sample to select participants. Thematic analysis was employed to scrutinize the data. The study revealed that augmented employment prospects, enhancement of remunerative status, familial heritage, and aspiration for scholarly attainment are the factors motivating young people to pursue postgraduate studies. The challenges of insufficient supervision and limited familial support have been identified. The study recommends that the higher education sector seek financial support from external sources, including foreign donors and the private sector, to address some of the challenges young scholars experience during their postgraduate studies and encourage the pursuit of master's degrees. Additionally, it is advised that supervisors receive appropriate training in adequate student support.
