The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has challenged African countries to learn best practices from each other and the rest of the world, especially in the areas of education and skills acquisition, in order to participate effectively in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Dr Bawumia said this at a World Bank-organised Ministerial Meeting on Monday morning, 27 June 2022.
“We will not be able to deliver change without building and sustaining political momentum. In many countries, more efforts are needed to rationalize the governance of education systems to achieve greater coherence, cooperation, and coordination,” the Vice President stated.
Indeed, he noted that the relationship between socioeconomic development and human capital is critical and Ghana’s policies on education access, quality, equity, relevance, skills acquisition and education financing reflect how Ghana is using education as a lever for human capital development and socio-economic transformation.
