Developing and enhancing quality education in Africa

Africa is on track to surpass Asia as the continent home to the greatest number of young people. However, higher education in Africa is hindered by a chronic lack of investment, an unstable policy environment, competition from outside Africa for academic talent, international conflicts and a colonial legacy that has created multiple socio-economic challenges that higher education must respond to.

Prioritising quality higher education is vital to address these challenges, and the future of Africa's youth and their potential impact on the world depend on swift action.

This event will look at how quality higher education can be developed and enhanced amidst geopolitical issues, peace initiatives and a rapidly changing climate and economic environment.
