The Fourth Industrial Revolution

We conducted a research for the African Centre for Economic Transformation (ACET) in 2018, on The Fourth Industrial Revolution. This body of research involved three separate surveys targeted at students, firms/employers and representative groups, Heads of Secondary and Technical, Vocational, and Educational Training (TVET) schools, teacher training directors and teacher training specialists (education and TVET training institutions) and directors at education, ministries and TVET ministries, as well as a focus group discussion involving various stakeholders and education policy-makers. The research assessed the preparedness of the various stakeholders for the changes the fourth Industrial revolution (4iR) would cause to the way people live, work and relate with one another, especially with regards to education and the job market.
