In this episode, James Keevy, CEO of JET, talks with Fabrizio Trifiro, host of the Experiences of International Education podcast, about leveraging the digital revolution for credential recognition. James takes us through his first involvement with international education as South Africa was opening up, exploring connections to Africa, Europe and North America. James reflects on the potential role of South Africa as an education hub for the region, and some of the key challenges associated with it, such as lack of supply and social tensions.
They discuss how innovations in digital technology can support credential evaluation and ultimately promote lifelong learning, as well as the mobility of skills, competencies, and qualifications. They also explore fascinating considerations on the necessary innovations in quality assurance and recognition, driven by a focus on learning outcomes, to support the flexible learning required by today's societies and economies. James further shares recent work he has been involved in on developing an African continental qualifications framework and more.
