Organised by Effective Basic Services (eBASE) Africa.
African governments have undertaken numerous initiatives to improve education access and ensure no child is left behind. Despite progress, Sub-Saharan Africa still has an out-of-school population of 98 million, and learning poverty has worsened from 86% to 90% since the COVID-19 pandemic. The education systems struggle to prepare young people for a future disrupted by conflict, climate change, technology, and globalisation. This learning crisis is intensified by ongoing challenges, requiring a reassessment of foundational and secondary education investments.
With Africa’s youth population growing, projected to reach 1 billion by 2050, investing in education is crucial. The African Union has declared 2024 the Year of Education Transformation under the theme: “Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century.” The Education Indaba invites proposals for abstracts and posters to explore innovative solutions for educational transformation and equity.
