Background
Education
and training remain among the bedrock of tools for human empowerment
inclusive prosperity and progressive development. However, this powerful
agency of education does not happen by chance. It has to be planned and
strategized through adoption of innovative practices in education.
Current demographic trends in Africa have seen expansion of education
systems without necessarily having the concurrent enhancement of
productivity and efficiency particularly with regards to improved
outcomes in quality and equity in learning opportunities.
Appropriate platforms, frameworks, policies and programmes have to be
developed and implemented to remedy this challenge. Use must be made of
every resource, indigenous, endogenous, international, new and emerging
technologies to enhance the quality of education provision and learning
outcomes. This must be done urgently in order that we achieve the goals
we have set for ourselves in Agenda 2063 and SDGs, as unpacked in
the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 16-25), whose
mission is to “Reorient Africa’s education and training systems to meet
the knowledge, competencies, skills innovation and creativity required
to nurture African core values and promote sustainable development at
the national, sub regional and continental levels.
