Leadership Perspective

Minister’s Foreword

"It is with a profound sense of purpose and optimism that I present this book, a testament to the vital role our Higher and Tertiary Education Institutions (HTEIs) are playing in the transformation of Zimbabwe."

"As we accelerate towards the realisation of Vision 2030, the imperative to build an upper middle-income economy, inclusive and prosperous for all, has never been more urgent. The foundation for this national endeavour is our people, their ingenuity, and our collective commitment to the principles of His Excellency, Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa’s Heritage-Based Education 5.0."

"This philosophy, which positions education as an anchor for producing skilled, innovative, and entrepreneurial graduates, has become the engine of our national renewal."

"The progress we have made under the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1) is significant and provides a powerful launchpad for the next phase. We have moved from the theory of Heritage-Based Education 5.0 to tangible production."

"Innovation across our universities, colleges, and entities has been remarkable. Institutions have evolved into hubs of economic activity, producing goods, technologies, and solutions that directly contribute to national development."

"This publication highlights these achievements and sets the tone for the journey ahead."

Hon. M. Shava

Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development
