Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic will certainly affect the direction and development of new human civilisation as it marks the history of the 21st century like the Spanish flu of 1918. Although Covid-19 has brought the world to its knees but has at the same time united the seemingly different world. With Covid-19 the world has had to adapt to a new kind of normal, and as a global phenomenon, the pandemic has for once and diplomatically re-ordered the entire world where every country has had to choose which side of the diplomatic coin it belongs. The virus has potentially grouped countries of the world into the rich, with strong and more efficient health and political institutions, scientific knowledge and innovation, and the poor, whose economy cannot adequately support its citizens. The Covid-19 has challenged the modern diplomacy, forcing every state to consider the pandemic as a top priority owing to its crippling impact on the global economy. Amidst the political tension in Africa between groups and individual needs vis-à-vis state and international requirements, will Africa be able to diplomatically navigate its way through the Covid-19 “world”? This work uses the lens of innovative diplomacy, thematic content analysis, and a critical discourse approach to unpack the relevance of innovative diplomacy to Africa amidst the pandemic and conclude that Africa need to understand the contemporary diplomatic environment vis-à-vis the importance of innovation diplomacy.

Abstract

This study explores the synopsis of the accumulative effects of school dropout in South Africa. Primarily attending school until full completion is highly beneficial to individuals and the society, it brings about an upward movement in skills development, crime reduction, better health, and an increased sense of self-confidence. Contrariwise, dropping out of educational and training system often limits individual’s range of possibilities in life. In South Africa, retaining students in school until they graduate from primary or secondary school has become a big challenge to educational policy makers, thus, reflecting the inadequacy of the quality or quantity of the system. Using qualitative method of approach and ecological model, adopted from Bronfenbrenner, this work believes that school dropout is based on the interrelationships between individual learners and multiple systems connected to them which in turn affects the country socially, economically, and politically. The paper concluded that policy makers and education specialists should work together to implement a successful education system suitable for a new generation of students in meeting their challenges of modern globalized world while fostering social mobility and economic growth and reducing the inequitable distribution of societal resources.
