Highlights
Improving Education in Africa synthesizes research across 33 countries in Africa to identify promising pathways for enhancing learning outcomes while strengthening equity and resilience in African education systems.
Drawing from data covering over 167,000 schools, and insights from thousands of students, teachers, parents, and education officials, this research highlights three key actions to improve education on the continent:
- Utilizing local education data to make informed decisions that address country-specific challenges, focusing on solutions that prioritize equity and improve pedagogical quality.
- Directing investments toward high-impact areas, including early learning, supporting vulnerable students through proven practices like tailored instruction, and utilizing technologies to improve teachers' day-to-day work.
- Designing implementation plans that respond to local contexts and embedding implementation research for continuous learning.
