Its goal was to assess the implementation, impact and scalability of Zimbabwe\u2019s education reform programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative forms part of the African Union\u2019s efforts to identify successful African-led education models. These models are expected to support key continental frameworks, including the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 2026-2035), the Continental TVET Strategy and the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA 2034).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the visit, the delegation met several senior government officials. They included Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Prof. Amon Murwira, Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Frederick Shava, Youth Empowerment Minister Tino Machakaire, and Skills Audit and Development Minister Dr. Jenfan Muswere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discussions focused on education governance, policy coordination and ways to strengthen links between education, innovation and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prof. Murwira said education must go beyond teaching theory. He noted that Zimbabwe\u2019s Education 5.0 model aims to make schools, colleges and universities active contributors to national development. The model encourages innovation, job creation and industrial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the mission, Prof. Banyankimbona praised Zimbabwe\u2019s progress. He said the Education 5.0 framework aligns learning, research, innovation and production with national development goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AU delegation also visited universities, innovation hubs and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. The visits provided first-hand insight into how the policy is being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the African Union, lessons from Zimbabwe\u2019s experience will contribute to wider discussions on education reform across the continent. The AU believes strong education systems are key to innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainable economic growth under Agenda 2063.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1312,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[10],"tags":[296,198,201,191,294,290,291,297,292,293,295,289],"class_list":["post-1310","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-acalanaumedianews","tag-africanews","tag-africanunion","tag-agenda2063","tag-economicgrowth","tag-education50","tag-educationreform","tag-highereducation","tag-innovation","tag-skillsdevelopment","tag-tvet","tag-zimbabwe"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
