- Private sector driven economy facilitated through deregulation and privatization
- Un employability of the labor force
- Knowledge based economy
- Un-employability
- Digital accentuated by COVID 19
This would then lead to developing critical thinking skills that would help the workforce cope with the emerging difficulties, hazards and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. The civil service would improve their working strategy through the following:
- Dealing with global economy in recession and indebtedness
- Boost in the business of technology, food and health provision
- Activating local alternatives to foreign solutions
- Mainstreaming new level of hygiene and health habit
