‘Meeting Academics, Representatives from ICT sector & other stakeholders’

 
 









I had a meeting with academics, representatives from ICT sector and other stakeholders to discuss relationship between academia and the Industry. A number of issues related to the development of the sector were raised amongst others the supply of graduates to the sector and the need to get students from an early age to become interested in ICT. It was a fruitful discussion and a further meeting will be held shortly.
