BRUSSELS, CMC - Prominent academic and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, Professor E. Nigel Harris has stressed the role of tertiary education as an engine for economic growth in developing countries, while calling for deeper collaboration across African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions in the process.
In an interview to launch the ACP Secretariat’s “One-on-One” YouTube series, Harris said that although ACP countries have made some socio-economic gains, “it’s not enough”.
He said universities, particularly through research and knowledge sharing, were key to boosting competitiveness in local economies.
