\u201cGambia must develop, and it must be developed by her own people and on education and research.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation cannot be as usual. Education must be fit for purpose. Education must respond to the needs and aspirations of the youths of this country,\u201d said the Higher Education Minister.<\/p>\n

The minister believes the training of 30 Gambians would create a critical mass of researchers within the public sector who will in turn share what they learnt with others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that is very, very important. It is coming at a time when the Gambia is working on its transformation agenda on higher education,\u201d Minister Gomez said.<\/p>\n

The Gambia has been at the periphery since independence looking, but it is high time they moved to the centre of development, Prof. Gomez said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAnd the youth of this country need skills. So, the research needs to inform policymakers so that we can come up with strategies and activities that will engage the youths now come up with sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in research is what will change the development trajectory of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
