The education system of Africa Things you should know

We know how important is education for all, it is the basic right of any child. I will tell you more about the education system of Africa. 

In recent times there have been significant improvements in the education system of Africa, but many parts still lack access to education. Factors such as poverty, limited infrastructure, distance to schools etc are the barrier to access to education for the child.

The quality of education is also missing in various regions of Africa. Overcrowded classrooms, outdated curriculum and lack of qualified teachers and inefficient learning resources etc. are the reasons that are hindering the learning outcomes. Gender disparities also play a role in limited access to education for a specific gender. Due to traditional practices and early or child marriage girls were and still facing issues with access to quality education.

Despite a lot of challenges in the education system of Africa many works are taking place to improve the condition of the educational system of Africa. Efforts are made to train teachers through some initiatives and programs and to provide ongoing professional development opportunities to attract and retain qualified teachers.

According to the latest State of Global Education Update, 9 in 10 children in Sub-Saharan Africa are unable to read and understand a simple text at the age of 10. This implies the condition of education in Africa.

According to the UN sub-Saharan region of Africa has the highest number of education exclusions globally, nearly 60% of youth of age 15- 17 are not in school.

In rural areas, access to education is quite hard due to poverty and other factors. Children don’t tend to go to school rather than running away from the schools resulting in high dropout rates.

However, things are coming back on track and students are going to school, regions such as Seychelles, Tunisia consist of schools that are engaging for the children. The dropout rate is quite high in rural than in urban, but it is improving in recent times.
 
Since education is a universal human right of a child, the child should be having access to education- a quality education.

 Government must take appropriate steps in collaboration with international bodies to promote education in Africa. The government should promote girls' education campaigns or child education campaigns to spread awareness across the continent.

Emmanuel Katto Views On Education Of Africa.

Education system of India is diverse and varies from countries and regions. Many challenges are there faced by the African countries. The access to education is quite limited. There is absence of quality education in Africa. Children especially girls have limited access to education, perhaps it is because of varied factors such as poverty, early marriage and the attitude of culture towards education.

There are other factors such as lack of quality education in many schools in Africa. Many of the schools lacks the basic resources as textbooks, qualified teachers and teaching materials. Even in some African countries the curriculum is not adequate or relevant for the students which can create a barrier in the academic development of the children and may also act as a barrier in their workforce or countrymen process.

Despite there are numerous challenges in the education in Africa, we can see some positive things happening in the life of the children. Many African countries have made progress in providing the quality education to the children. Girl children are also being encouraged now for education, teacher are being trained and even we can see education reforms are being run to provide quality education and even the infrastructure is getting developed.

Although much work need to done for making the education much better and children friendly. Uganda a country in Africa is also facing challenges in education but the government lay emphasis on education as a basic human rights. Today we can see that Uganda hold a very innovative approach in education. The primary schools here are effective making children in a number literate and the infrastructure is also playing a key role in motivating children to attend schools. Since Uganda’s economy is not developed as compared to west and other developed nations but the government of Uganda is making all the effort to provide the education to children, so that they can become wise countrymen.

Emmanuel Katto views were also laid in the emphasis of the education as a basic right of children. Emmanuel Katto who is a well-known entrepreneur and business leader and a professional engineer from Uganda. Overall we can see that the condition of education system of Africa is not that developed but in modern time things are a little settled and can see improvements is coming all the way in education in Africa and its countries like Uganda.
