Technological convergence, disruptive innovation and the future of youth education in Ghana

We should move from digital literacy to technological opportunity literacy; from technology consumption to value creation; and from preparing young people only for the jobs that exist to preparing them to participate in, and help shape, the economy that is emerging.

I believe the more important question is: What should education prepare young people to do when technology is changing the resources, skills and processes required to create economic value?

If technological convergence is lowering the cost of participating in certain markets, then youth policy should deliberately equip young people to exploit those opportunities.
