Abstract
This systematic review's primary goal is to determine how prepared African basic
schools are for implementing 4IR tools and how well-versed in 4IR the teachers in African
basic schools are. A systematic review approach was adopted. Data base such as
Johannesburg e-library, ProQuest, and Google scholar was used to search for relevant study
used. It was determined that the findings were valid and rigourous through the use of
PRISMA. Out 106,859 resource generated, the review included 18 studies that met the
inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study highlights the necessity for African basic schools
to enhance their preparedness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Funding is crucial
to provide the necessary 4IR infrastructures, suggesting the allocation of resources by the
African government for procurement and deployment of 4IR tools. Additionally,
implementing a program to train teachers and school leaders in 4IR technologies is
recommended to enhance their capabilities
