503. Policy Dialogue: Bridging Research, Practice, and Policy for Empowering Africa's Future. Nb: A Critical Advice the Topic. By Mr. Thomas Kapundura Rupusa

Thomas Rupusa, Black Namibian

Innovation happens in the fields of education and human development; to achieve human development, current and medieval knowledge must be combined into a single paradigm. Human development is the mental effort that propels people to find solutions to today's challenges. Early education and modern education are inextricably linked; nevertheless, African consciousness attempts to ignore medieval social sciences and science by emphasizing current science, which stumbles because its riddles are not derived from Western narratives. The modern and medieval educational systems coexist as a single entity, much like pros and cons cannot exist alone since they would be absurd. Ignorant comments on science, especially from the elderly, should be considered, and modern education should assist in identifying academically antiquated training. Our living standards demonstrate that education in Africa did not develop naturally due to human capital skills. Africans buy machinery, financial aid, non-aid imports, and other imports; these are effectively steps backwards toward our growth.
