The Zambia Chamber of Mines has urged the government to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern technology into the Technical Education, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) curriculum.

At an August 25 meeting with Technology Minister Felix Mutati, Zambia Chamber of Mines Vice President Charles Sakanya emphasized the need to equip artisans with AI skills essential for exploration and mineral mapping.

Minister Mutati confirmed that the TEVET Act is being revised to focus on competency-based training and called on the mining sector to contribute to this update.
