The International Education and Career Growth Series. As an International Educational Advisor, I have witnessed firsthand the wide variation in educational attainment across the African continent. While some regions have made significant progress, others continue to lag behind due to inadequate resources and funding. Although sub-Saharan African countries have seen rising enrollment rates from elementary to high school, quality and access remain uneven with disparities between urban and rural areas. It's clear that there is a pressing need for educational reforms that focus more on technical and vocational training, which can quickly adapt to industry requirements and provide practical skills. Moreover, we are currently experiencing an Educational System and Industry Mismatch. Many educational programs in Africa do not align well with the rapidly changing needs of the industry. Graduates often find themselves unprepared for the specific demands of the modern job market. It's time to address these issues and work towards a more equitable and effective educational system in Africa. Let's invest in technical and vocational training, while also ensuring that educational programs align with industry needs. Only then can we ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to a quality education that prepares them for the workforce. While on duty, I make it a priority to connect with my Advisee to better understand their unique needs as a foreign student. I am always available to provide constructive feedback and support ( the picture summarizes the advisory journey). -Ore.

Albania Education Sector Analysis (ESA) 2024 is out! "ESA covers critical dimensions, including access and equity, quality, relevance with the labour market, governance, and cost and financing. It also includes an introductory chapter that provides an overview of the environment in which the education sector evolves. It mainly covers the period 2010–2022 and triangulates quantitative and qualitative information from various sources and existing reports, including educational management information systems (EMIS), learning assessments, household surveys, and human resources and financial data."

This is what we need in Africa

There is need for craftsmanship as part of curriculum in our educational sector in Africa.

Starting from early childhood education will bring significant change in our education system

Tackling South Africa's digital skills gap: a roadmap for the future In our mission to bridge the digital skills gap, The Collective X proposes the following actions: 1. Boost investment in digital skills development to equip our youth with the necessary competencies to thrive in the digital age. 2. Lower the barriers to entry into high-value digital careers by supporting alternative education providers that offer more opportunities for young people to enter the job market. 3. Develop a targeted approach to address both supply- and demand-side challenges. 4. Alongside digital proficiency, we must equip young people with foundational skills such as literacy and numeracy, and soft skills including communication, management, analytical thinking, and problem-solving. 5. Encourage the private sector to invest in digital skills development to address the skills shortage and promote innovation. By implementing these strategies, we can effectively bridge the digital skills gap and pave the way for a more prosperous South Africa.
