Bridging the skills gap

In developing countries, the role of state institutions and the government becomes indispensable. For the majority of citizens, who lack adequate exposure to information and knowledge, navigating the complexities of unemployment and underemployment is an insurmountable challenge without external support.

The assessment of students’ skills and aptitudes should be integrated into their education from an early age, across different stages of development. Counselling alone is insufficient; a complete overhaul of the education system is needed. This includes replacing traditional methods with more interactive, hands-on learning that develops cognitive abilities and practical skills. Utilising technologies like videos, simulations, AR, VR and project-based training will engage students and help them retain information by applying it in real-world contexts.
