Higher education system – the weakest link of mena's entrepreneurial ecosystemteam-abr
Education & training, and the role of universities in developing entrepreneurs – both key pillars of an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem – are the least developed in the Middle East & Africa, as per entrepreneurs trying to grow their companies in the region.
The higher education system in the region is public and controlled by the political class, thereby denying universities the necessary academic freedom to breed next generation entrepreneurs.
Courses specific to developing communication and presentation skills of young graduates and future entrepreneurs are missing, and the brain drain following the Arab Spring has further depleted the quality of the region’s graduating workforce.

Summary of the Morocco’s New Development ModelLabiad hamid
Rabat - The Chairman of Morocco's Special Commission for the Development Model (CSMD), Chakib Benmoussa, has finally presented the long-awaited general report on the Moroccan new development model.
Benmoussa presented the multi-faceted, all-encompassing development roadmap to King Mohammed VI at the Royal Palace of Fez on Tuesday, May 25. “The renovation of the development model constitutes a new stage in the consolidation of the social project,” states a press release from the Royal Office.
The new model for human-centered approach to development has been in development for over a year now; it was originally announced in the 2019 Throne Day speech. The new development model will be considering serious reforms in education, health, agriculture, investment, as well as taxation.

colleges, Private Colleges, Universities, private training companies and recruitment companies.
Young people are also a high priority, with rising unemployment among people under 25, the present UK Government has pledged a increase in Apprenticeship places over the next 10 years.
Background:
In 2004, Lord Leitch was tasked with considering the UK’s long-term skills needs. His Final Report was published in December 2006 and concluded:”In the 21st century,
our natural resource is our people - and their potential is both untapped and vast. Skills will unlock that potential. The prize for our country will be enormous - higher productivity, the creation of wealth and social justice.’’
Wider context: In his Executive Summary, Lord Leitch explains the importance of developing the nation’s skills:
The global economy is changing rapidly with emerging economies such as India and China growing dramatically, altering UK competitiveness. The population is ageing,
technological change and global migration flows are increasing. There is a direct correlation between skills, productivity and employment. Unless the UK can build
on reforms to schools, colleges and universities and make its skills base one of its strengths, UK business will find it increasingly difficult to compete. As a result of low
skills, the UK risks increasing inequality, deprivation and child poverty, and risks a generation cut off from labour market opportunity. A compelling vision for the UK
The Review recommends that the UK becomes a world leader in skills by 2020. This means doubling the attainment at most levels. Stretching objectives for 2010 include: 95% of adults achieve the basic skills of functional literacy and numeracy - an increase from levels of 85% literacy and 79% literacy in 2005; exceeding 90% of adults qualified to at least Level 2 - an increase from 69% in 2005. A commitment to go further and achieve 95% as soon as possible; shifting the balance of intermediate skills from Level 2 to Level 3. Improving
the esteem, quantity and quality of intermediate skills. This means 1.9 million additional Level 3 attainments over the period and boosting the number of Apprentices to 500,000 a year; exceeding 40% of adults qualified to Level 4 and above, up from 29% in 2005, with a commitment to continue progression.
A career in assessing will help you to keep ahead and make sure that you are ready, with the right qualifications for the future.
This expert meeting of the ESSSA initiative will provide a unique opportunity to share international experience in addressing the issue of skills mismatch as a way to contribute to more inclusive growth and good quality job creation across Southeast Asian countries.

I have proposed unlocking investment opportunities through Digital Vocational Academy (VDA) as part of the financing for development in Liberia. However, it is fair to re-emphasized that ICTs are tools; they are not ends in themselves. Following the increase in demand for new skills in the new knowledge economy, ICTs have become means to reach economic ends. Technology is a manifestation of human creativity channelled towards problem-solving. Such innovative application of modern ICTs in skill development among disadvantaged youth and women will be the driving force in fulfilling the SDGs while partnering the private sector.

Enhancing Morocco’s GVCs backward participation through higher human capital.
1. Enhancing Morocco’s GVCs backward
participation through higher human
capital.
Education as the key to development and growth.
Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains - WDR 2020 final project
2. Morocco’s participation in GVCs
By providing a favorable investment climate and Special
Economic Zones(SZE), the country has successfully attracted
FDI aimed at the development of these sectors. Morocco’s
backward participation in GVCs has especially benefited from
various FDI which enhanced the levels of domestic value
added(VA) to exports.
Morocco has successfully integrated global value chains
through different manufacturing industries. Among these
industries the automotive and textile sectors have been
leading Morocco’s participation in the global chains of
production.
Source : WTO - trade in Value Added and Global Value Chains
3. Human capital as enhancer of GVCs participation
Human capital plays a pivotal role in the
development process of a country. Upgrading to
higher levels manufacturing requires a great
capacity for innovation which can be sustained
only through higher levels of education.
In an ever-changing technological environment,
human capital is more than ever necessary to
absorb and adopt new technologies and
innovations. Trade in GVCs, in particular, has been
drastically impacted by technological changes and
productivity improvements.
In fact, according to the latest innovation indexes, the most
productive countries also happen to be the most innovative
ones. As human capital increases, impactful results from R&D
and innovation capabilities also increase. Which in turn has a
positive impact on the overall productivity and value added to
exports.
4. Morocco’s human capital index
Although Morocco has successfully integrated global
chains of production, transitioning to more advanced
levels of manufacturing and services will more likely
represent a serious challenge due to the country’s
low-to-average levels of human capital.
The latest results of the human capital index show that the country is
lagging behind in terms of pre-school education and school
attainments. Morocco’s overall score is only 0,50 which suggests that
a child undergoing complete education is only 50% productive. As a
result the country’s score is lower than the regional(MENA) average.
Ineffective education programs coupled with
inefficient allocation of resources for schooling
have further exacerbated the productive capacity
of moroccan youth.
5. A starting point to address Morocco’s
lagging human capital resides in enhancing
the national education programs. Better
productivity and innovation are fueled
principally by a higher quality education,
therefore tackling education inefficiencies is
primordial.
Integrating technological formation since early
ages is more likely to familiarize younger
generations with fourth industrial revolution
technologies. As technological disruptions
continuously reshape the world’s development
trends, flexibility will be central in re-adapting
to new technologies.
Reforming education often requires
tremendous efforts and resources
mobilization, however the longterm results
are more likely to benefit the growth and
development of the country. Therefore
better education policy design is essential
and mandatory for upgrading Morocco’s
regional and continental competitiveness.
Better education policies for a better tomorrow
Building research and formation centers
aimed at developing key technical and
managerial skills to deepen the country’s
GVCs integration.
6. Inequality in education levels and distribution remain
serious barriers to the proper development of human
capital, not only in Morocco but, for many other
developing and under-developed countries. The long-
term consequences can be detracting for the economy
and overall social wellbeing in these countries.
Gains from trade liberalization and GVCs participation
have effectively contributed to the development and
poverty alleviation of many developing countries.
Nevertheless, most developing countries remain limited in
their manufacturing industries and moving to more
advanced manufacturing is often very demanding.
Deepening the integration in the global value chains
requires many systemic and structural reforms that
developing countries fail to address properly.
Many challenges to overcome….
In a globalized word , the challenges are not only domestic
but also international. Cooperation at regional and
international levels is fundamental in tackling several
challenges such as tax evasion, climate change, consumers
protection etc..
