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
