What does evidence-based solutions mean?

Updated: Jan 29, 2022

We need to work with research evidence and not researcher advice, as the latter in this country is often biased by opinion. Research evidence does not come for free; it needs appropriately generated data. Data needs to be of quality to achieve the most useful evidence upon which we can depend upon. Generating quality data need good research designs. This needs trained personnel and facilities. Evidence-based solutions to our problems in the future will reduce our waste and promote growth. For example, our national cost of road traffic accidents is equivalent to 2-4% of our GDP. What research have we done to see how to resolve this ongoing issue for years? Higher education is a must for us to become a developed nation. Yet, we have offered only 5% of our advanced level children any higher education opportunity in a national university for decades. What research have we done to see how we can enhance this and offer increased higher education opportunities to our children. To promote research, we need quality and modern education opportunities. We need serious consideration to enhance this, and create learning opportunities of quality, to ensure our future workforce will be graduates of multiple expertise. Nearly 40% of the workforce are graduates in developed countries.
