Strategies and Challenges of Implementation of Zimbabwe's Education 5.0 Policy

This systematic review critically examines the strategies and challenges of implementing Zimbabwe's Education 5.0 policy which is a main pathway for innovation and industrialization. Education 5.0 was made to transform higher education as the backbone for innovation and industrialization. A qualitative reviewing of existing literature, the research highlighted an important disconnection between the policy's ambitious goals and the existing implementation systems. The results reveal that the policy is affected by a structural problem and limited resources, including inadequate of funding innovation hubs and lack of digital infrastructure. In addition, main problem in human capacity such as limited educator training and digital literacy and fragmented governance structures, top-down system reforms and lack of stakeholder involvement, continuously derail progress. However, these barriers, the systematic literature review provides strategic opportunities, involving luting public-private organization and align the policy with national development goals and social sustainability standards. The research finalized that in the absence of a structured, multi-pronged approach that simultaneously addresses funding, capacity building, and participatory governance, Education 5.0 will remain a largely rhetorical commitment. The results provide significant insights for policymakers and implementers seeking to operationalize this transformative educational model journey in Zimbabwe and beyond in similar developing contexts.
