Background
Education in Sub-Saharan Africa has seen significant improvement over the past few decades, particularly in enrolment rates. Despite these advancements, an astonishing 98 million1
children remain out of school, many of whom are from marginalised groups/communities. Additionally, an estimated 90% learning poverty rate2 across the continent means that the vast majority of the children who are going to school are not learning. Ultimately, Africa is behind track in achieving targets set in the Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25),
Sustainable Development Goal number 4 on education (SDG4), the 2030 global agenda, and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
