SOE 2015

AAI’s 2nd Annual State of Education in Africa Conference brought together some 200 educators and innovators from Africa and globally to engage in insightful panel discussions and gain innovative and practical approaches to transforming Africa’s educational systems.

The conference’s overarching goals were:

• To have a solution-driven conversation with policy-makers, educators, administrators, philanthropists and those interested in capacity-building about the challenges and opportunities in education on the African continent.

• To elevate and mainstream the conversation on education as a key component of the economic development narrative of Africa.

• To use AAI’s convening power, visibility and thought-leadership to uniquely identify the primary obstacles and practical interventions, which must be implemented to improve the educational landscape in Africa.

The conference outcomes report provides reflections and insights from some of the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners in education on thematic, country and sector approaches to expanding education and strengthening the capacity of Africans and educational institution.
