“All countries and all regions in the world, irrespective of their development levels and capacities, face challenges in all sectors, including in higher education. This is mainly due to the rapid, continuous and even unexpected changes they encounter. The best and most viable means to tackle these challenges is through well-trained human capacities. However, although education for education sake is necessary, it is also vital to train university graduates to solve societal problems and contribute to socioeconomic development by matching skills demand in general. The latter, remains the key and most difficult challenge of the African countries.” – Prof. Jelel Ezzine, Tunisian Association for the Advancement of Science, Technology and Innovation
