“…That again extends to the view that universities should closely work with the industry in its bid to sustain high order cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills as provided by Bloom in 1956 among graduates. The feeling agrees to [24, [43][44][45][46][47] as the way to go towards inculcating hands-on skills among tertiary institutes graduates.…”

Higher Education - New Approaches to Accreditation, Digitalization, and Globalization in the Age of Covid

Through face-to-face interviews with lecturers, this research explored the relevancy of new higher education approaches in Zimbabwe particularly Education 5.0 and virtual learning environments (VLEs). The main finding suggests that the five missions of Education 5.0 are not new in higher education and training in the country. However, they being nigh on greased following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID 19) is exceptional and unplanned for up take. Education 5.0 charges that turned to be virtually oiled have already been cherished under the auspices of Education 3.0. Thus, lecturers do not perceive it as new. But, only the means and ways upon which it is delivered to learners in the COVID 19 era. The hype around it coming from the ‘Second Republic’ government is factory-made and politically calculated. Besides, it is difficult to underpin the development given the economic problems the country is currently facing. This research also finds out that VLEs are just more than a saga in Zimbabwe since she still lags behind the world order of internet of things. A few of the interviewees were of the view that teaching and learning though virtual means and ways is not different from the old face-to-face model.

“…The first one was the deployment of the military and police with live ammunition in August 2018 against young people demanding the early release of election results. In the clash between protesters and the armed state security forces, six people were killed by the military and police and a crackdown on opposition and civic activists soon followed (Hodgkinson 2019). 17 Many activists went into hiding after this brutal crackdown.…”

This book critically examines and analyses the active role played by youthled social movements in pushing for change and promoting peacebuilding in Africa, and their long-term impacts on society.Africa's history is characterised by youth movements. The continent's youth populations played pivotal roles in the campaign against colonialism and, ever since independence, Africa's youth have been at the centre of social mobilisation. Most recently, social media has contributed significantly to a further rise in youth-led social movements. However, the impact of youth voices is often marginalised by patriarchal and gerontocratic approaches to governance, denying them the place, voice, and recognition that they deserve. Drawing on empirical evidence from across the continent, this book analyses the drivers and long-term impacts of youth-led social movements on politics in African societies, especially in the area of peacebuilding. Additionally, the book draws attention to the innovative ways in which young people continue to seek to re-engineer social spaces and challenge contexts that deny them their voice, place, recognition, and identity. This book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of social movement studies, youth studies, peace and conflict studies, history, political sciences, social justice, and African studies.

“…Following ESAP’s inception, public hospitals introduced user fees (Kanyenze et al, 2011). Since then and following the rise of the private sector and budget cuts, access to health shifted from being a public to a commoditized good (Hodgkinson, 2019; Kanyenze, 2007: 7) This and the subsequent years, which saw the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy post-2000, both accentuated the precarious nature of the country’s health sector. Against such a backdrop, the Zimbabwean health sector witnessed several strike actions by nurses and doctors due to deep-seated and unresolved grievances.…”

The literature on repression and path dependence provides a solid theoretical tradition for understanding how regimes contain and repress protests and strikes. Less well-understood is how and why regimes react in the manner they do in containing industrial job action from critical and essential service sectors such as public doctors. Answering these questions is pertinent not only for advancing scholarly insights on repression literature but also for understanding the state’s power, character and worker resistance in Africa. Utilizing the Zimbabwean case study, the article examines public hospital doctors’ labour protests during 2018 and 2019. The article contends that how repressive regimes respond to collective job action is shaped by path dependence.
