Youth

Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that left an estimated 250 million primary and secondary school learners across Africa not attending school, the all-virtual 2020 SAP Africa Code Week (ACW) has celebrated a successful year with students and teachers engaged in coding and digital skills learning across Africa

To better understand the thoughts, experiences, and concerns of Africa’s youth when it comes to secondary education, it is critical to listen to the voices of young people themselves. Their perspectives are notably absent from many policy discussions on secondary education.

Africa is currently the youngest continent in the world. Over the next few decades, young Africans will play a critical role in the social and economic development of the continent. Ensuring they receive a quality education will be key.

Face à la situation critique des jeunes africains en matière d'emploi, le Pôle de qualité inter-pays de l’ADEA sur le développement des compétences techniques et professionnelles (PQIP-DCTP) entend agir comme catalyseur des politiques et pratiques innovantes dans le champ de l’éducation et de la formation en Afrique.
