  • Just finished speaking on "education for employment, developing skills for vocation" at African Brains conference in Cape Town. #
  • As good as our education system is in Zimbabwe it is too academically orientated and we need a greater focus on vocational subjects. #
  • #Zimbabwe is now embarking on a comprehensive review and reform of its curriculum, starting with a conference in December to consider needs. #
  • A key component of curriculum reform will be to implement vocational education strategies. We need to respond to projected needs of Zimbabwe #
  • Zimbabwe's need to improve vocational education needs a complete change of mind set of Government – will require massive investment. #
  • The only way we can make the investment in education we need to is if we dramatically change our budget priorities, especially Defence. #
  • Singapore, Sou Korea and Finland made decisions decades ago to invest heavily in education above Defence and bloated government ministries. #
  • #Zimbabwe cannot achieve its education goals unless we spend in excess of 30% of our budget on education which we are not doing at present. #
  • So good having Williams and Coventry back playing cricket in #Zimbabwe for Tuskers. We have missed both of them. Zim cricket the stronger #
  • Well done Tuskers. Good start to the season – 211 after 50. A few rusty players but you can build well on this. #
  • #Zimbabwean Brendan de Jonge doing well on the US PGA tour today – sitting second on 17 under par. Well done Brendan flying the flag high. #
