Abstract

The new education 5.0 model vision 2030 in Zimbabwe is anchored on heritage-based philosophy in tertiary education institutions aimed at the production of goods and services. The education model aspires to industrialise and modernise the Zimbabwean economy to attain a middle economic position by the year 2030. Industrialization and innovation can be realised in contribution towards the attainment of Vision 2030. It is prudent to adopt learning that is congruent with the prevailing digital age. The future of learning in the digital age therefore proposes a new framework for education that integrates digital technologies to improve student learning outcomes. The model takes into account specific challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, curriculum issues, a lack of digital literacy among instructors, and a lack of synergy between the education sector and industry. Recommendations include improving infrastructure, providing instructor training in digital literacy and curriculum design, and building partnerships with industry and government.
