Comparison Ghana to Malaysia

• Both got independent in 1957

• Malaysia developed a sound education system

• Today’s average income: Ghana: $ 300 / Malaysia: $ 3000

• Ghana still exports raw products like palm oil, cacao and gold

• Malaysia which imported its first palm oil trees from Africa in the 1950s is

now the largest palm oil producer in the world

→ Educa+on and stability create the change

Lack of skills as constraint for efficiency:

• Technology increases productivity

• But technology needs proper planning, installation and maintenance

• Students gain theoretical knowledge at colleges or universities

• Lack of practical skills/applications

→ Need of specialized further educa+on

Practice is the highest form of Theory:

• if you tell me I will forget

• if you show me I may remember

• if you let me experience/do I will learn

Added Value through a Blended-Learning solution:

• integration of cognitive and haptic training units

• combining theory, simulation and hands-on training
