Между тем эти западноафриканские государства располагают огромными человеческими и природными ресурсами и занимают важное место в системе международных торгово-экономических связей не только в качестве крупных мировых экспортеров нефти, но и благодаря достаточно высокому (по африканским меркам) уровню промышленного развития. После состоявшегося в Сочи в октябре 2019 г. саммита Россия – Африка начался процесс расширения экономических контактов со странами Черного континента, и Нигерия и Гана становятся значимыми африканскими партнерами России. В этой связи особую актуальность обретает формирование адекватного представления об уровне научно-технической подготовки западноафриканской рабочей силы и специалистов, способных использовать зарубежные ноу-хау и осуществлять собственные технические разработки, приближенные к африканским реалиям.</p><p>Целью данной работы является выявление степени адаптированности систем образования Нигерии и Ганы к потребностям этих стран в обеспечении промышленности, сферы ИКТ и научных учреждений квалифицированными кадрами, а также уровня и характера использования современных технологий. При написании статьи авторами использовались историко-системный и сравнительный методы анализа. В результате исследования были сделаны выводы о том, что недостаток финансирования и нехватка квалифицированных кадров, то есть проблемы, с решением которых нигерийская и ганская системы образования пока не справляются, остаются серьезными препятствиями на пути масштабного внедрения современных технологий. При этом наиболее «практический», приближенный к производству уклон имеют автономные специализированные институты, не связанные с образовательными учреждениями и ведущие научные разработки в отдельных отраслях хозяйства (рыболовство, энергетика, строительство, банковское дело, медицина и др.).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Nigeria and Ghana, some of the largest countries in Africa in terms of population and GDP, possess considerable scientific and technological potential, which, due to many objective and subjective reasons, has not been fully realized. Yet these West African states have enormous human and natural resources and occupy an important place in the system of international trade and economic relations, not only as major oil exporters, but also due to a fairly high (by African standards) level of industrial development. After the Russia-Africa summit, which was held in Sochi in October 2019, the process of expanding economic contacts with African countries has intensified, and Nigeria and Ghana are becoming important partners of the Russian Federation. In this connection, an adequate assessment of the scientific and technical level of West African labor force and specialists able to utilize foreign know-how and develop own technical solutions adapted to African realities is of particular relevance.</p><p>The purpose of the present paper is to identify the degree of adaptation of the educational systems of Nigeria and Ghana to the needs of these countries in providing industry, the ICT sector, and scientific institutions with qualified personnel, as well as the level and nature of the application of modern technologies. To achieve this the authors employed the historical-systemic and comparative methods of analysis. In the paper it has been argued that the lack of funding and the lack of qualified personnel, i.e. the problems that the Nigerian and Ghanaian education systems have not yet dealt with, remain serious obstacles to the large-scale introduction of modern technologies. At the same time, autonomous specialized institutes that are not associated with educational institutions and which conduct research in specific sectors of the economy (e.g. fishing, energy, construction, banking, medicine) are better integrated with producers and thus generate most practical results.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Нигерия</kwd><kwd>Гана</kwd><kwd>образование</kwd><kwd>наука</kwd><kwd>инновации</kwd><kwd>ИКТ</kwd><kwd>технологические центры</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Nigeria</kwd><kwd>Ghana</kwd><kwd>education</kwd><kwd>science</kwd><kwd>innovation</kwd><kwd>ICT</kwd><kwd>technology centers</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">статья опубликована в рамках проекта «Посткризисное мироустройство: вызовы и технологии, конкуренция и сотрудничество» по гранту Министерства науки и высшего образования РФ на проведение крупных научных проектов по приоритетным направлениям научно-технологического развития (Соглашение № 075-15-2020-783).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article was prepared within the project “Post-crisis world order: challenges and technologies, competition and cooperation” (No. 075-15-2020-783), supported by the grant from Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation program for research projects in priority areas of scientific and technological development.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Гаврилова Н.Г.
