Introduction of specific topics on entrepreneurship in the curricula of universities and colleges e g. enhance business games
The role of university and college education in some fields of training is of importance in this respect. 2 Impact:
Therefore, universities should stay ahead and develop the skills of their students in the newest technologies (including e-leadership skills).
Keeping the curricula of the universities and colleges up-to-date in a fast-growing technological environment is a prerequisite for graduates with a good‘match'to the evolving needs of the labour market.
The EC could foster this through the development of a European reference framework that will embed entrepreneurship into education.
This can involve the introduction of entrepreneurship subjects in the curriculum not only of universities and colleges but also of schools,
at the same time, updating the knowledge of teachers with respect to entrepreneurship and the educational approach to entrepreneurship in secondary education.

According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, completing a high quality secondary education is an important threshold for increasing the odds of obtaining a quality job. 32
While about 89 per cent of young people in the region begin secondary education, less than one-half complete it. 33 In addition,

Chile, and Peru there exists a higher concentration of unemployment among youth with secondary education than either primary
or advanced education. 35 This situation reflects a skills mismatch wherein there is stronger demand for workers with a college education than those with secondary education. 2. 4. 2 Arab States Youth unemployment rates in the middle East continue to be the highest in the world.
As a result, young people with a university degree are more likely to be unemployed than their less-educated peers,
there are not enough jobs for young university graduates. On the other hand, there is high and unmet demand for technicians of all skills levels
and for skilled blue-collar workers. 46 The region has high numbers of university graduates in fields highly desired by employers today, like science, technology,
About 61 per cent of the 225 million people aged 15 to 24 in China live in rural areas. 52 While half of youth in rural China complete lower secondary education or less
As a result, 17 per cent of urban youth in China attend university, compared to 5 per cent of rural youth. 53 In India,
the youth population suffers from low levels of education. On average, young people in India receive just over seven years of education.
In Sub-saharan africa just 77 per cent of students enrol in primary education, the lowest in the world.
Only 41 per cent of boys and 32 per cent of girls in Sub-saharan africa enrol in secondary education. 60 In the short-term,
youth and young students from some universities are preparing for the expansion of green jobs to increase our employment and youth employment rates. 115 Paulo,

Innovative ICT solutions for youth employment 46 Blended learning has gained popularity mostly in European and North american high schools, colleges and universities,
Nonetheless, a number of universities from the South have enhanced their distance education programmes by turning them into blended learning opportunities to reach migrant populations living abroad,
mostly in Europe and the United states. These universities operate through satellite offices around the world,
The African Virtual university is a Pan African Intergovernmental Organization created with the mandate to increase access to quality higher education and training through the innovative use of information communication technologies.
