The African Union Commissioner for Education, Science Technology and Innovation (ESTI), Professor Mohamed Belhocine, says Africa must focus on developing Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across all levels of its education ladder if it desires to break out of the quagmire of underdevelopment.
He said the continent risked further losing out with the advent of artificial intelligence and development of digital tools and everything possible must be done to avoid such.
There is the need to shed the light on the issues because we will not develop in our continent without really developing TVET at all levels from the basic skills to the most sophisticated and innovative and new skills that are emerging with the development of artificial intelligence, the development of digital tools and digital methods and so on and so forth," he emphasised.
