The conference titled ‘Bridging Continental and Global Education Frameworks for the Africa We Want’ will identify challenges and opportunities in the further alignment of educational systems in view of ensuring transformative education for Africa. The AU acknowledges this problem in its Continental Strategy for Education in Africa document, noting the continent ought to sustain access while improving learning outcomes. Goal 4 underlines the need for all governments to provide equitable inclusive quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
