Building integrated post-secondary education networks to meet Africa’s labour requirements: Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

Abstract: 
Strengthing the tertiary education sector is critical for enhancing competitiveness of the African continent in the global economy, and for addressing the skill needs of the continent. The ongoing efforts by the World Bank and RUFORUM to strengthen the linkage between Higher Education and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), will facilitate development of the needed human resource capacity to champion development in Africa. This paper argues for greater focus to strengthen the TVET sector.
