As part of the CiTA project, SOZ tries to contribute to the innovation of the curriculum at various levels of education. Currently, the focus is on the university level. Developments such as the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and, in conjunction with that, the introduction of intelligent devices, are going to have their impact on Zambian industry like everywhere else. And although Zambian industry is unlikely to play a significant role in the development and production of such equipment any time soon, choices regarding procurement will have to be made in the future by the students currently attending higher education.

After two corona years, it was possible to visit Zambia again. Incidentally, the effect of the corona epidemic in rural Zambia turned out to be not too bad. As far as you can judge as an outsider, of course.

This report looks back at 2020, SOZ's eleventh year.

This report looks back at 2019, SOZ's tenth year.

This year and next year the focus within the CiTA project will be the introduction and further implementation in the curriculum of the integration of computers in equipment and industrial processes. The curriculum innovation will take place within three universities: the University of Nairobi (department of Electronic Engineering), the University of Zambia (department of Electronic Engineering and departments in application areas) and the Kapassa Makassa University in the north of Zambia (department of Science and ICT in Education).
