description

There is limited data on education and how it affects job opportunities for young people in Africa. This affects decision-making about education systems in African countries. There is a need to understand how we can work together to unlock data that will help partners to take concrete steps to support young people in the transition from education into work.  

Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA), ZiziAfrique and EdTech Hub have been bringing together groups of influencers with an interest in increasing data access and use for education in Africa. These include funders, academics, national statistics offices, and policymakers. Based on feedback from the workshops we plan to build a community of practice for increasing access to and use of education data in Africa.
