Notes

  1. According to the legal notice on the imprint page, the VET Africa 4.0 Collective is “identified as author of this volume” (p. iv). More details are provided in the “Acknowledgements and authorship” section at the beginning of the book (pp. xi–xiii).

  2. The authors refer to the third phase in the history of VET in Africa as “VET Africa 3.0” (briefly outlined on pp. 30–31 of the book), which was undermined by non-industrial economic growth around the turn of the millennium. As is reflected in the name of the authors’ collective, they see contemporary African VET to have reached phase 4.0.
