Publications - GESCI papers on Technical and Vocational Skills Development
and ICT

GESCI has recently published two papers trying to tease out key issues
related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their
integration to national education and training systems in Sub-Saharan
Africa;

• "Re-engineering Education and Training for Economic and Social
Development in the 21st Century: A Focus on Technology and Skills
Development in National Education and Training Systems in Africa"
developed for the Ministerial Roundtable at the e-Learning Africa
conference in May 2011 to open up discussions around 'how' technology
use can be used to support education re-engineering for socio-economic
development in the 21st Century.

• "Skills for Employability: The Role of Information & Communication
Technologies" takes a slightly broader perspective on challenges and
interventions within the field of Skills Development, looking at how ICT
offers various possibilities to make a significant difference in addressing
issues of quality, access and equity.

The education and training systems of Sub-Saharan African countries are
under increasing pressure to address issues that affect the very core of
their countries' economic and social development. The preparation of
graduates for jobs – both those demanded now, as well as those projected
- with the required skills, abilities and competencies for the 21st Century
knowledge based-economy and marketplace is a long and complex process which
requires an integrated, holistic and inter-sectoral approach guided by
strong leaders. For effective interventions, education and training have to
be viewed as interrelated drivers for socio economic development, and while
the appropriate solution for a specific country will always be unique some
commonalities are identified. The possibilities in efficient deployment of
ICT to modernise Technical and Vocational Skills Development curricula,
increase relevance of skills provision and expand enrolment capacity of
institutions should be harnessed. ICT have a central role to play in
bridging the Technical and Vocational Skills Development learning
environment to the world of work, and with increasing outreach of
infrastructure and connectivity and constantly declining costs for
equipment ICT integration to Technical and Vocational Skills Development is
within reach.

Both publications are available on GESCI's website:

Development in the 21st Century: A Focus on Technology and Skills
Development in National Education and Training Systems in Africa"
