Rage bait has become shorthand for content designed to elicit anger or outrage.

There has been an increase in usage as people began to take more conscious and calculated control of their online presence, curating personas deliberately aimed at baiting other users to appease algorithms and garner engagement.

From college to career

TVET is more than a qualification. It is a launchpad.

With strong links to SETAs, workplace-based learning and industry-aligned programmes, colleges are equipping students with the skills they need to step confidently into the world of work.

Behind every confident graduate is a well-prepared lecturer. Behind them are quality resources that bring clarity, relevance and rigour to the classroom.

Oxford textbooks are designed to support this journey — helping educators teach with impact and students prepare for the workplace.

Employability starts with how we teach.

Your textbook doesn’t retire after N6

Studying at a TVET college isn’t just about theory. It’s about applying what you’ve learned in real workplaces.

After N6, students need 18 months of practical experience and that’s when the textbook becomes more than just a study tool.

Oxford textbooks are designed to go beyond the classroom. They’re not just for passing exams. They’re for solving real problems, making decisions and navigating the unexpected.

Even when your book is smudged with oil, filled with notes or stained in the lab, it still works.

It’s not about keeping it clean. It’s about making it useful.
