| Summary: | Tertiary and vocational learning is
widely recognized as critical for all countries’ economic
success. While progress has been made toward achieving the
fourth United Nations’ (UN) sustainable development goal
(SDG 4) by 2030 - ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning for all - a 2019 UN
report shows that some 750 million adults are functionally
illiterate. These statistics illustrate the enormous
challenge of adequately preparing the workforce for rapid
technological change that will require continual reskilling.
Although machines with artificial intelligence are likely to
replace millions of workers across the world, artificial
intelligence (AI) also has great potential to enable workers
to keep up with technological change and remain employable.
This note attempts to illustrates how AI can support
post-secondary learning across the entire tertiary and
vocational education sector in emerging markets. |
