Summary

Introduction

Background According to the Zimbabwe Council of Higher Education (ZIMCHE), Zimbabwe has 24 registered Universities - 14 state (public) and 10 privates, and all these Universities have total enrollments of up to 130,000 students and employs 20,000 people. There is a consensus on the great need for STEM programmes and cuttingedge skills to produce technological solutions for industrialization and modernization in line with the Education 5.0 national policy. The key business problem is on achieving University Institutional performance in an increasingly networked environment. ZIMCHE has been championing introduction of Minimum Body of Knowledge and Skills (MBKS) in all national Higher Education Institutions as a way of standardizing the curriculum. ZIMCHE accredits only those University programmes that meet ZIMCHE’s minimum agreed standards with respect to the following (ZIMCHE Annual Report, 2018, p.13): ❖ Relevant and well-crafted curriculum that addresses the HEI’s mandate and the national needs ❖ Adequate financial resources ❖ Teaching and learning facilities ❖ Availability of the relevant electronic and hard copy reading material ❖ Adequate ICT provision ❖ Appropriately qualified teaching staff
