What you need to know about higher education in Africa

_{//science-technology.news-articles.net/content/2 .. ed-to-know-about-higher-education-in-africa.html}
^{Published in Science and Technology on Tuesday, December 10th 2024 at 4:42 GMT by UNESCO}

Young people are Africa's greatest asset. With 75% of Africans under 35, the continent's younger generation holds the key to unlocking significant economic growth, innovation and sustainable development - if well-educated and equipped with the right skills.

The UNESCO article titled "What you need to know about higher education in Africa" discusses the current state and challenges of higher education across the continent. It highlights that Africa has the youngest and fastest-growing population globally, which necessitates a robust higher education system to meet the demands for skilled labor and economic development. Despite an increase in tertiary enrollment rates, access to higher education remains limited, with only 9% of the relevant age group enrolled compared to the global average of 38%. The article points out disparities in enrollment between regions, with North Africa having higher rates than Sub-Saharan Africa. Key issues include insufficient infrastructure, funding, and quality of education, as well as the need for better alignment between education and labor market needs. UNESCO emphasizes the importance of investing in higher education to foster innovation, research, and sustainable development, advocating for policies that enhance equity, quality, and relevance in higher education systems across Africa.
