Africa's Pulse: Transforming Education for Inclusive Growth

Описание: As economic activity recovers in Sub-Saharan Africa, how can education systems better prepare millions of students for the workforce? With 170 million more students entering schools by 2030, the region must build 9 million classrooms and hire 11 million teachers. Beyond financing, the focus must shift to improving learning outcomes and equipping youth with skills for the fast-changing job market. Join moderator Nozipho Tshabalala, Andrew Dabalen, Chief Economist for Africa at the World Bank, and other experts as they explore the urgent need to transform education for inclusive growth.
